Due to the advantage of favorable soil and climate conditions, the galangal variety (the raw material for making vermicelli) grown in Bac Kan grows well and is better quality than other places, making vermicelli here fragrant.

Bac Kan vermicelli is light gray-white, slightly opaque with a yellow tint, and dry and tough. In addition, Bac Kan vermicelli also has characteristics of insoluble ash (0.030 - 0.036%) and vitamin B1 (6.17 - 9.04 µg/100g starch).

The unique reputation and quality of Bac Kan vermicelli is due to the raw galangal. Bac Kan vermicelli is a product made from 100% raw galangal tubers grown in 73 communes in 7 districts and Bac Kan city of Bac Kan province. The geographical area for growing raw galangal tubers has specific soil conditions.

In addition, the specific production technique of vermicelli in the geographical area is also a condition that creates the unique characteristics of Bac Kan vermicelli, especially in the stages of soaking, bleaching, and drying. Starch of galangal (dry or wet) is soaked with clean water to whiten. The drying technique is the factor that creates the tough, dry vermicelli of this type of vermicelli.
