Cốm Tú Lệ, a specialty of northwestern mountainous region
This particular grain of rice has large, round seeds and when it is cooked, the rice has a special soft and fragrant taste. When it is processed into cốm, it tastes sweet and pleasant and has a green colour.

According to locals, the deliciousness of the rice is due to the cool climate all year round in the region.
In addition, the rich humus and minerals of the soil and the transparent water of the stream flowing from the top of Khau Phạ Pass are natural factors that create the original flavour of Tú Lệ glutinous rice.

Thị Sáng, a villager from Nà Lóng Village, said the stages of making cốm are complicated. At the start of Tú Lệ nugget season, the villagers start to harvest the rice from 5am and then only the newly ripe rice are carefully selected to make delicious nuggets.

Currently, all villagers in Tú Lệ Commune are involved in producing nuggets. Each local family can make around 20kg per day. Each kilo of Tú Lệ nuggets could be sold at VNĐ100,000 (US$4,4), which has become their major source of income. VNS
