Why is Forest Dổi Seed So Expensive?
Forest dổi seed is characteristic of the Northwest region and is always favored for its unique flavor and wonderful uses in cuisine. The reason why this product is sold at a high price is because:
- The rarity of forest dổi seed: The dổi tree is a tall, woody tree that grows naturally in the special climate and soil conditions of the Northwestern mountains. This tree grows slowly, taking up to 5 years to bear fruit and over 10 years to achieve stable yields. Each mature dổi tree only yields about 7 to 10kg of fresh seeds per year, equivalent to 2-3kg of dried seeds. Therefore, the output of forest dổi seed is very limited, not enough to meet the increasing market demand.
- The laborious and meticulous harvesting and processing process: Harvesting forest dổi seed requires the ingenuity and experience of indigenous people. Dổi trees are 15 to 20 meters tall with few branches. Therefore, the process of harvesting dổi seeds is quite arduous. After harvesting, the dổi seeds must also undergo a natural drying process and manual shelling, which requires a lot of time and effort.
- Characteristic, attractive flavor: Forest dổi seed possesses a special aroma, a spicy, numbing taste on the tip of the tongue, imbued with the flavor of the mountains and forests. This spice contributes to the appeal of many Northwestern specialties such as buffalo jerky, wild boar, grilled chicken… This unique flavor has made forest dổi seed loved and sought after by many people.
