In many Vietnamese homes, fruit isn’t just for eating—it’s for sharing. When fruits ripen past their peak for fresh eating, people turn them into jam or sun-dried fruit snacks. That’s how fruit leather came to be—simple, practical, and full of flavor. At Tay Cat, fruit leather is made from ripe tropical fruits using traditional methods, slowly and carefully.
What Is Fruit Leather?
Fruit leather is a chewy fruit snack made by pureeing ripe fruit, cooking it down, and drying it into thin sheets. It has a mildly sweet, slightly tangy taste and is easy to carry. Tay Cat makes it entirely by hand, using only mango, banana, pineapple, soursop, and tamarind – all popular fruits in Southern Vietnam.
No artificial colors, no preservatives, no refined sugar – just fruit, patience, and time.

Made by Hand, Made with Heart
Making Fruit Leather takes time. It can’t be rushed. Tay Cat believes food made with care simply tastes better—and carries more meaning. Every step, from washing and cooking to drying and rolling, is done by trained hands with respect for each ingredient.
The process starts with selecting ripe, seasonal fruit—often from trusted local farms. Then comes the careful blending and cooking stage, done in small batches to preserve both texture and flavor. Drying is done slowly, sometimes in sunlight, to maintain the fruit’s natural color and aroma. Finally, each sheet is hand-rolled, checked, and packed with care.
This isn’t just a product. It’s how Tay Cat keeps part of Vietnamese countryside life alive. It reflects the rhythm of rural kitchens, the sound of slicing boards, the scent of sun-dried fruit on woven trays. It’s a quiet celebration of time, place, and tradition—preserved in every bite.
