"NongHyup Distribution Starts Selling First Spring Watermelons of the Year from Haman"

On the 29th, models are showcasing the first harvested spring watermelons from Haman at the Nonghyup Hanaro Mart Yangjae branch in Seocho-gu, Seoul.

[Asia Economy Reporter Yuri Kim] Nonghyup Distribution, which operates Nonghyup Hanaro Mart, a specialty agricultural and food store, announced that from the 29th, it will introduce Ham-an Spring Watermelon, which can be enjoyed even in early spring.

Ham-an Spring Watermelon is characterized by its dense flesh, having grown slowly for over 100 days during the winter season. Using the Chambak Daemok cultivation method, it has firmer flesh and higher sweetness compared to other watermelons grown with Hobak Daemok rootstock. Watermelon is known as a good fruit for patients with edema who frequently experience swelling, and the fructose and glucose contained in watermelon can help with quick fatigue recovery. Watermelon can be eaten as is, blended into juice, or enjoyed as watermelon hwachae (fruit punch). When selecting fresh watermelon, check for bruises, wounds, or dents.

A representative from the Nonghyup Distribution fruit team said, "As the weather that was frozen throughout the winter gradually warms up, we have prepared the first shipment of Ham-an Spring Watermelon for customers heading out for camping and outings," adding, "We hope you fully enjoy spring with the sweet Ham-an watermelon."
