Cracked rice nuts, also known as miniature rice nuts, are harvested from deep forests during the months of October and November. These nuts are approximately one-third the size of regular rice nuts and have about 1000 nuts per kilogram. Collecting cracked rice nuts is a challenging task, with people in the Northwest region only able to collect around 10-15kg per day.

These nuts have a hard, dark brown shell that is not as smooth as Trung Khanh rice nuts. The outer shell is surrounded by sharp thorns that need to be removed before collecting the nuts. When ripe, the shell cracks open, revealing the delicious white kernel inside that has a stronger aroma compared to regular rice nuts.
