In March, Ban flowers usually bloom in the Northwest sky. This is a specialty flower in mountainous provinces. Every season when flowers bloom, people in the villages take advantage of picking and processing them into many different dishes. Some people also pick them and bring them to the market to sell.

• At the beginning of the season with a selling price of nearly 100 thousand / tray is still “hunted”

Because it is a specialty that comes only once a year, many online retailers also take advantage of buying and moving to Hanoi, because many people in the capital also want to buy to enjoy this flower.

The price of flowers is sold at a fairly high level, ranging from 120k – 150k/kg. Sharing the reason for the expensive price, Ms. Phuong (who is collecting and selling this type of flower) said: “Ban flower is a specialty of the Northwest region only once a year, so I buy it every season. Ban flowers sell high due to the characteristics of this flower with thin petals, easy to crush and destroy when transported long distances. Depending on the time of scarcity, the demand for buying is high, up to 200k/kg.

Hoa ban is a specialty of the Northwest, mainly famous in Dien Bien and Son La. The most famous is still the specialty of the Thai people in Son La.

It can be seen that although the price of this flower is high, many people still line up to order and many batches of goods from small traders still do not pay enough for customers’ orders. Phuong shared, each batch of goods from 10kg to 15kg is the most. Orders collected a few days in advance but were not paid in full due to high demand.

“Goods are returned more or less because it depends on the wholesale market every session. In addition, ban flowers are a specialty and rare, so villagers pick and eat leftovers to sell. Therefore, flowers are not collected much, most of the time. only a few pounds a day.

If you collect a lot, you will have to return to pay for the customers who booked in advance, otherwise, you will have to beg for the next trip. At most, about 20kg can be collected to pay enough for customers, and on average, each trip can only collect from -15kg.

Many people feel very impressed with the taste of this flower, so even though the price is expensive, they still order it.

It is known that Ban flower is a specialty of Thai people in Son La. In each blooming season, they often pick and separate the calyx, only take the pistil and petals, then wash them, bare them with hot water, and then process them into many dishes such as: hoa ban mannequin, stir-fried garlic, and fried bamboo shoots. , flowers can cook chicken soup or minced meat… Even flowers can be eaten raw.

Ban flowers are collected from the wild, the goods are very clean. When eaten raw, it has a sweet taste, while cooked, you will feel the fleshy, greasy taste mixed with sweetness when eating. Therefore, flower ban has become a familiar dish of ethnic people. For Hanoians, the dish made from this flower is still quite strange but attractive if you have tasted it once.

At this time in the Northwest region, the ban flower has bloomed in the sky. Ban tree is a tall, woody plant, so the harvest is mainly done by local people and then brought to the market to sell. Not to mention that each ban flower is very light, so it takes a long time to get 1kg of ban flowers to sell.

Admittedly not only buying flowers at an expensive price, but the waiting process also took Liem a whole week to buy. Ms. Liem shared: “I ordered flowers from the beginning of the week on an article to collect orders from a familiar seller, but I had to wait until almost a week to receive the goods. The reason was because there were too many customers ordering, many people. I ordered in advance, so I have to pay them when I return the goods, I ordered it later, so I had to wait in line to receive it.

The reason why even though I have to wait, it’s expensive, I still want to buy Hoa Ban to cook for my family to enjoy is because 1 year ago, I first ate Hoa Ban mannequin and fried chicken with chicken in one go. to Son La. Feeling very impressed, the taste is still remembered to this day, but at that time in Hanoi it was too difficult to buy, so this time had the opportunity to order it right away.
