Gấc is a type of perennial melon grown in Southeast Asian countries and Northeastern Australia, known for its bright orange-red color due to its high content of beta-carotene and lycopene. Its Vietnamese name is pronounced [ɣək˦˥] and it is also called Chinese bitter-cucumber, giant spine gourd, and sweet gourd in English. The fruit grows on dioecious vines and is typically 13cm in length and 10cm in diameter. It is used as food and traditional medicine, with its seeds and seed oil containing high amounts of beta-carotene and lycopene. Gấc is also used to make dietary supplements and is rich in fatty acids, including omega-3 and omega-6.
