Information about dak seeds and how to choose them
- Dak seeds are the seeds of the dak tree – a type of tree primarily found in the South Central regions of our country such as: Nha Trang (Khanh Hoa), Phu Yen.
- After being peeled, dak seeds will have an opaque white color, smooth skin, and when eaten, they feel crunchy with a naturally fatty and nutty taste.
- When choosing to buy dak seeds, you should prioritize fresh, soft seeds that are opaque white and odorless. Because these are the freshest, ripest, and most delicious seeds to eat.
- Avoid buying pre-cooked dak seeds or seeds that are too white, as these seeds have been chemically bleached and we cannot control the source of the raw materials they use for cooking the seeds.
- Moreover, when buying, you should pay attention to observe some characteristics to avoid confusing dak seeds with thot not seeds (thot not seeds will have a transparent white color, larger seeds, and a distinctive aroma, while dak seeds are odorless, smaller, and have an opaque white color).
- You can easily buy dak seeds at markets or on reputable agricultural e-commerce websites.
