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

One of the foods you eat the most while traveling in Vietnam is fruit! Just because it's Southeast Asia doesn't mean every fruit is delicious all 365 days of the year — you all knew that, right? Will mangoes actually be tasty in the month I'm going? Mangosteens are from Southeast Asia so they'll be cheaper than in Korea, right? I think a lot of you have probably had thoughts like these. For me, it's December, March, May, June, July, and September. During my 7 visits to Da Nang, I noticed that the taste of fruits I ate was different even when they were the same fruits! That's why I've prepared fruit information by season (by month) for those planning a trip to Vietnam, so you can enjoy delicious fruits.
