Red cane apple is a type of apple highly regarded for its distinctive and delightful flavor. Let’s explore this unique specialty from Thai Nguyen!
1 What is red cane apple?
Red cane apple is a fruit with a green skin that is as smooth as the trunk of a bamboo tree. As it ripens, the skin turns yellow and translucent. The red cane apple season typically lasts for about a month, from late August to the end of September. Unlike regular apples, red cane apples are known for their longer shelf life, sweeter taste, and chewier texture.

The cultivation of red cane apples is mainly concentrated in certain mountainous provinces, especially Thai Nguyen. However, due to the limited harvest period and shrinking cultivation area, red cane apples are considered rare and highly sought after.
Enjoying red cane apples is a unique experience compared to other apple varieties. To savor them, you cut the apple in half and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. The flesh of the apple has a peach pit-like color and offers a sweet, crispy texture.

To obtain high-quality red cane apples, they are only harvested when the fruits reach a certain level of ripeness. These apples are then left to naturally ripen for about 1 to 2 days. When fully ripe, red cane apples have a translucent yellow color and a soft texture when held. If the fruits are still green, you can simply flip the apple upside down with the stem facing down, and within 2-3 days, they will turn yellow and ripen.
