About us

Ô-mai (pronounced Oh-mai) is a traditional Vietnamese snack that has been enjoyed for centuries. This delightful treat is made from a combination of dried fruits, ginger, licorice, tamarind, sugar, salt, and water.

In agricultural regions, farmers often have an abundance of produce, which leads them to find ways to preserve and utilize their harvest. To make Ô-mai, they carefully select high-quality fruits, such as plums, apricots, apples, star fruits, pineapples, and kumquats, or any seasonal fruits. These fruits are thoroughly dried and then soaked in salt water. After draining, they are sautéed in a mixture of sugar, tamarind (or lime juice), licorice, and chopped ginger. Additional flavors like chili can be added, and vibrant colors are  often preferred.

Ô-mai can be stored in jars, shaped into candy, or individually wrapped, allowing it to last for several months on shelves. It is a snack enjoyed by people of all ages and is often given as a special treat or gift during holidays.

In addition to being delicious, Ô-mai is packed with nutrients, including fiber and vitamins, and it supports healthy digestion.

We hope you enjoy the famous Ô-mai that we produce!
