Mention Ben Tre, and people immediately think of a fertile land lined with endless rows of coconut trees swaying in the wind. Coconut is not only the region’s iconic plant but also a vital source of livelihood for locals from raw material value to high-value processed products.

Ben Tre Coconut Candy – A Traditional Gift

Kẹo dừa Bến Tre

Coconut candy is one of the oldest and most distinctive products of Bến Tre. Made from coconut milk, malt syrup, and peanut or durian, this rustic yet meaningful treat has been a favorite for generations.

Bến Tre coconut candy has a rich, chewy texture and comes in diverse flavors such as pandan, cocoa, durian, and black sesame. Modern vacuum-sealed packaging helps preserve freshness for longer.

Some long-standing and popular brands include Tuyết Phụng, Bà Hai Tỏ, Thanh Long, and Yến Hoàng.

However, due to its high sugar content, coconut candy is not suitable for people with obesity, those on strict diets, or individuals with diabetes.

In the healthy beverage category, COMOON bottled coconut water has quickly built its reputation in both the Vietnamese and international markets. The product combines modern processing technology with the natural goodness of fresh Ben Tre coconuts.

Pure Coconut Oil – Nature’s “Elixir”

For centuries, pure coconut oil from Ben Tre has been considered a precious gift of nature. Cold-pressed from dried coconut meat without chemical processing or additives, it retains essential nutrients such as beneficial fatty acids, natural vitamin E, and antioxidants.

Key benefits of pure coconut oil:

Natural beauty care: Moisturizes skin, softens lips, and smooths hair
Health support: Improves digestion, helps control weight, and supports heart health thanks to lauric acid - a beneficial medium-chain fatty acid
Anti-aging: Antioxidants help slow down skin aging

Today, Ben Tre coconut oil is produced using both traditional methods and modern cold-pressing technology, ensuring purity and safety. It is increasingly trusted domestically and exported to many countries worldwide.
