After harvesting, the outer shell is burned to prevent the tree&#8217;s resin from sticking to the skin and causing itchiness. Finally, the shell is peeled off to retrieve the seeds. \u0110\u00e1c seeds are clear white, smooth, and resemble betel nuts. They are crunchy, rich, sweet, and refreshing when eaten. The peak season for \u0111\u00e1c seeds is from the fourth to the eighth month of the lunar calendar. After that period, while the seeds are still sporadically harvested, they become rarer and more expensive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7012 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/gemnuts.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/hat-dac-nha-trang.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"730\" height=\"411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gemnuts.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/hat-dac-nha-trang.jpg 730w, https:\/\/gemnuts.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/hat-dac-nha-trang-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The process of extracting \u0111\u00e1c seeds is quite labor-intensive.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2><b>Benefits of \u0110\u00e1c Seeds<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the past, \u0111\u00e1c seeds were cheap and not widely favored.
