Namwon-si Begins Full-Scale Harvesting of Jirisan Baemsagol Gorosoe Sap

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Nosik] Namwon City in Jeonbuk announced on the 9th that it started line work for collecting Gorosoe sap at the end of January and expects to collect it from this month until early April.

Last year, around 200 farms near Baemsagol earned about 2 billion won from Gorosoe sap collection.

Jirisan Baemsagol Gorosoe sap is collected from about 70,000 Gorosoe trees with a diameter of over 20 cm, located at an altitude of over 600m near Baemsagol, around the time of Usui (rainwater).

In particular, Jirisan Baemsagol Gorosoe sap is highly regarded nationwide for its excellent water quality and high sweetness, due to the characteristics of the area where sea breeze does not reach and the high-altitude collection.

Gorosoe means "water beneficial to bones" and is also called Gollisu (骨利水). It is known to be effective for diuresis and prevention of various adult diseases.

From this year, Namwon Gorosoe will be operated as the "Jirisan Namwon Baemsagol Gorosoe Farming Association" corporation, which integrates the Baemsagol Gorosoe, Namwon Gorosoe, and Chunhyanggol Gorosoe corporate groups into one.
