Wemakeprice "Homemade Winter Snack Ingredients Popular"

Sales of Fish-shaped Bread Pans, Batter Mixes, and Red Bean Paste for Bungeoppang Increase

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] Wemakeprice announced on the 2nd that sales of ingredients for making homemade snacks such as bungeoppang, roasted chestnuts, and roasted sweet potatoes, which are representative winter street snacks, significantly increased compared to the same period last year, based on an analysis of sales related to homemade snacks throughout November.

Sales of 'bungeoppang pans,' which allow you to bake in the shape of bungeoppang, increased by 105%, 'bungeoppang mix' for batter rose by 88%, and 'red bean paste,' used as filling for bungeoppang, surged by 820%.

In particular, those seeking 'pre-cut chestnuts' for roasting chestnuts increased by 439%. To make roasted chestnuts at home using an air fryer, you need to cut each chestnut individually, but purchasing 'pre-cut chestnuts' with cuts already made allows for convenient roasting, making them popular.

Sales of direct-fire roasting pots for making roasted sweet potatoes soared by 265%. Other items such as hotteok presses (52%), takoyaki pans (40%), and steamed buns steamers (38%) also sold well.

Additionally, frozen dough for making the recently popular croffle (croissant + waffle) increased by 1046%, and waffle makers saw a 320% rise in sales. A Wemakeprice official said, "With the popularization of new kitchen appliances like air fryers and lifestyle changes due to COVID-19, more consumers are making representative street snacks at home," adding, "As staying at home is expected to continue for a longer period, the popularity of homemade-related ingredients is also expected to continue."
