One of Korea's Best Exports
[Hong Ssang Ri] Maesil Cheong (Plum Extract Syrup)
Today, we're excited to bring you one of Korea's top exported food products...
Hong Ssang Ri's Maesil Cheong (Plum Syrup)!
Maesil is Korean Green Plum.
And it's long been used in Traditional Korean Medicine to help with digestion, detoxify the body and boost energy levels.
How is Maesil Extract made?
Hong Sang Ri harvests its maesil when they're green, sour and firm. This is when the fruit is packed with antioxidants, vitamins and citric acid.
The fruit is placed into large, traditional Korean clay pots called Onggis - which are pourous and permeable, helping to stabilize the rate of fermentation.
Fun fact: Hong Sang Ri has been fermenting their maesil in the same Onggi pots for 50+ years!
Then, the maesil is covered with Oligodang Syrup (as opposed to sugar) to start the fermentation process.
With time, liquid extract slowly seeps out, containing the fruit's nutrition.
This liquid extract is left in the pots for a second round of fermentation, further deepening the flavor!
How do I use maesil?
Many Korean recipes list maesil as an ingredient - as it adds sweetness, along with depth of flavor.
From namul banchans and jangajji (pickled vegetables) to K-BBQ marinades, it's used across many K-food categories.
Maesil Syrup is also frequently used to make a refreshing iced drink.
Simply mix the syrup with carbonated water and top-off with ice - to make maesil-ade!
Hong Sang Ri's family has been growing maesil for the last 3 generations!
Her farm has 2000+ maesil trees in Gyeongnam province.
For decades of hard work, she has also received the distinction by the Korean government as a "grandmaster" in the food category of maesil.
If you don't have maesil in your cooking pantry yet, what are you waiting for?
Available in 420ml.
Store in refrigerator after opening.
