Bánh cốm Nguyên Ninh is a handcrafted traditional Hanoi delicacy still made today according to an old family recipe dating back to 1865. The product consists of a thin, elastic outer layer made from young green sticky rice (cốm), which is lightly toasted and processed by hand without any additives or artificial coloring, preserving its natural aroma and fresh rice character.

The filling is a smooth, mildly sweet paste of yellow mung beans enriched with grated coconut, giving the cake a soft, creamy texture with gentle nutty notes. The recipe uses only natural ingredients - cốm, mung beans, coconut, and sugar - with no preservatives or artificial enhancers, reflecting the brand’s commitment to traditional craftsmanship.

Its flavor combines subtle sweetness with the distinctive fragrance of young rice, resulting in a delicacy that is easy to enjoy yet leaves a lingering, elegant impression. Bánh cốm Nguyên Ninh continues to be sold exclusively at the family’s shop at 11 Hàng Than, remaining an authentic culinary symbol of Hanoi and a popular gift for festive occasions.
