In Korea, it's traditionally fermented into a sweet, tangy extract and used as a natural substitute for sugar in cooking. Many people also drink it as an iced or hot tea, prized for boosting energy, supporting healthy digestion, and helping detoxify the blood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGolden Maesil (Cheongmae) vs. Green Maesil (Hwangmae)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost maesil extract on the market is made from unripe plums, known as \u003cem\u003echeongmae\u003c\/em\u003e. These have a green peel and produce a dark-green extract with a sharp, tart-and-tangy flavor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur Farm takes a different approach, using fully ripened plums called \u003cem\u003ehwangmae\u003c\/em\u003e, recognizable by their golden-yellow peel.\u003c\/strong\u003e The riper the fruit, the more natural sugar it develops — which gives this extract a noticeably sweeter, fuller-bodied taste than the typical cheongmae version. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's especially good mixed with still or sparkling water for a refreshing iced tea.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere It's Grown\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur Farm's plums are grown along the Seomjin River in Gwangyang, a coastal region in South Jeolla Province that's one of Korea's premier maesil-growing areas.
