Gac fruit, which originates in south east asian, is an orange to reddish colored fruit on the outside with a blood red inside that resembles bloody organs. Gac fruit is an incredibly rare fruit that is only harvested in December and January and often served at Vietnamese ceremonies and weddings.

It has the very, very mild tropical taste but primarily overwhelms your senses with how creamy it is. Gac fruit is highly nutrient dense and packed full of antioxidants.

It’s most commonly mixed with gluten rice to make a bright red rice dish called Xoi Gac.
