VOV.VN -Images of vendors carrying grapefruit flowers have become a common sight on many streets across the capital in recent days, drawing passers-by with the delicate fragrance of the blossoms.
The season of grapefruits blossoming comes between mid-February and March annually.
Grapefruit flowers appear in full bloom for only a short time, usually for between two to three weeks, after that the flowers usually fade and start to produce fruits.
The flowers are then taken home for decoration and can be added to tea to enhance the flavour with their sweet and seductive scent.
The fragrant aromas of the tiny flowers can enchant many people.
Grapefruit flowers are harvested from over-blooming trees that need to be pruned and their flowers are picked in order to produce a better crop.
After the buds start to bloom, the flowers are then cut before being divided into smaller bunches.
On average, a bunch of grapefruit has a lifespan of five to seven days and is sold by weight, with prices ranging from VND250,000 to VND500,000 per kilogramme.
The scent of grapefruit flowers is a typical feature of Hanoi’s streets every spring.
