The gui fruit looks like a pear, but its flesh and taste are sweet and sour like a mangosteen. When young, the gui fruit is a fresh green color, when ripe, it is orange-yellow. During the gui fruit season, people go to the forest and up the mountain to pick ripe fruit. According to Ms. Thi Thao, a resident of To Chau ward, in the past, gui trees grew a lot on the mountain, and when the fruit ripened and fell, people picked it up to quench their thirst while walking in the forest. In recent years, many tourists have sought out gui fruit, so during the gui season, many people go pick ripe fruit to sell, earning extra income. The gui tree is about 20m high, so to pick gui fruit, people must be good at climbing, swinging out to the branches or using hooks to pull the branches closer and then picking the fruit to avoid dropping the young green fruit. Gui fruit costs about 40,000 VND/kg, sometimes 100,000 VND/kg, depending on the area and time.

Young gui fruit is green, inedible, has a lot of sap, and is astringent and bitter; when ripe, the skin is soft, broken open to reveal the inside consisting of many small segments like mangosteen; gui fruit has a sour, sweet taste, and a fragrant smell. In addition to being eaten fresh, gui fruit can also be used to make smoothies, sugar syrup, etc. One of the popular dishes made from gui fruit is gui fruit shaken with salt and chili. The gui fruit is separated into segments, sprinkled with salt and chili, then shaken well and enjoyed. The sour flesh of the gui fruit blends with the salty taste of salt and the spicy taste of chili, very appealing.

Since May, the road near Ong Cop Cape, in To Chau Ward, has been selling many types of wild fruits, including the gui fruit, for tourists to buy as gifts after their trips . The stalls are small but never empty of customers. The first time he enjoyed the gui fruit, Mr. Nguyen Chi Cong, a resident of Can Tho City, shared: "The first time I enjoyed the gui fruit, I really liked it. If I eat it straight, the gui fruit is a bit sour, but if I dip it in salt or shake it with salt and chili, it is very delicious."

If you have the opportunity to visit An Giang in the summer, do not forget to enjoy the unique forest specialty fruit with its eye-catching orange-yellow color and attractive sweet and sour taste. Once you taste it, you will definitely remember it forever.
