(Info) Let me tell you about Vietnam's seasonal (monthly) fruits.

Fruit—one of the foods you'll eat the most while traveling in Vietnam! Just because it's Southeast Asia doesn't mean every fruit is delicious 365 days a year, right? I'm sure you all know that already. Will mangoes actually be tasty in the month I'm going? Mangosteens are in Southeast Asia, so they'll be cheaper than in Korea, right? I think a lot of you have probably thought this way. For me, it's December, March, May, June, July, and September. Even though I visited Da Nang 7 times in total, I noticed that the taste of the fruit was different each time, even for the same fruit! So I've prepared this for those of you getting ready for a trip to Vietnam — I'll share seasonal (monthly) fruit information so you can enjoy delicious fruit during your trip.
