Cốm, sometimes called green rice, is a flattened, chewy green rice used in Vietnamese cuisine. It is not dyed green but is produced from young rice kernels roasted over very low heat and then pounded in a mortar and pestle until flattened, and it is a seasonal dish associated with autumn, eaten plain or with coconut shavings, with a taste that is slightly sweet and nutty. It is a popular seasonal dessert across Vietnam, especially in the cuisine of the Red River Delta, and is traditionally produced in the village of Cốm Vòng in Hanoi.
