"Eat Jangseong Minari and Overcome COVID-19"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Oh Gilsu] As interest in foods that help boost immunity grows amid the spread of COVID-19, minari cultivated in Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do is gaining attention.

According to Jangseong-gun on the 1st, Jangseong minari, grown by filling water to submerge the stems at night and draining it in the morning, boasts a crisp texture and rich aroma. It is also certified organic, making it safe to consume raw.

Minari is well known for its benefits in strengthening the body, diuretic effects, and fever reduction, and it also helps enhance immunity.

Yoo Doo-seok, the mayor of Jangseong-gun, said, "On March 3rd, 'Samgyeopsal Day,' we recommend pairing samgyeopsal with minari, which is the best food combination," adding, "We hope this will provide consumers with taste and health, and offer livestock farmers and agricultural producers an opportunity to boost consumption, contributing even a little to the local economy, which has been stagnant due to COVID-19."

Jangseong-gun plans to continue various projects to secure sales channels for farms and improve farmers' incomes, including training 'dietary lifestyle activists.'

Meanwhile, Jangseong minari can be purchased at the Jangseong local food direct store, Hanmaeum Community, an eco-friendly agricultural products retailer, and the Gwangju distribution center.
