KFC debuts a dragon fruit burger with a pink bun in Vietnam, after the country struggled to sell excess fruit due to the coronavirus outbreak

Mar 16, 2020, 20:59 IST

Dragon fruit baked goods became a massive hit in Vietnam after ABC Bakery debuted pink dragon fruit baguettes in mid-February.

Vietnam had closed its borders with China due to the outbreak, making it difficult to export the fruit.

Kao Sieu Luc began developing recipes that used dragon fruit, creating new pink baked goods to sell at ABC Bakery.

ABC Bakery has since rolled out new items using dragon fruit, including buns and cake.

Kao Sieu Luc has encouraged other businesses to use dragon fruit, posting the recipe for dragon fruit baguettes on ABC Bakery's Facebook page.

In recent weeks, the price of dragon fruit has risen closer to its normal rate, and Vietnam has eased up on trade restrictions with China.
