Lotte Mart Sells 'Hongseong Hongsan Garlic'... "Korea's Number One New Variety"

Lotte Mart will sell 'Hongseong Hongsan Garlic' starting from the 24th as part of the 'K-Variety Project'.

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chunhan] Lotte Mart announced on the 21st that it will sell "Hongseong Hongsan Garlic" starting from the 24th as part of the "K-Variety Project."

Hongseong Hongsan Garlic is a new domestic variety of 6-clove garlic developed by the Rural Development Administration. It features high yield (grain production per unit area), strong resistance to pests and diseases, and contains a high amount of chlorophyll, a health-functional component, which gives the garlic tips a green color. With its high sugar content, it offers a richer aroma and taste compared to regular garlic when cooked. It also won the Grand Prize (Presidential Award) at the Korea Variety Awards last year, gaining external recognition for its excellent quality.

Additionally, Hongseong is a cultivation area between warm-region garlic and cold-region garlic, located adjacent to the coast, providing favorable soil conditions for garlic cultivation. It is considered an optimized region for producing the highest quality garlic in Korea by adopting cultivation methods such as spraying eco-friendly chlorella, which promotes garlic growth and prevents pests and diseases.

A Lotte Mart official said, “In a situation where garlic prices have not easily dropped due to cold damage and continuous rainfall last winter, we hope customers will enjoy the excellent quality Hongseong Hongsan Garlic, which won the Grand Prize at the Korea Variety Awards, at a reasonable price.”
