"30% Discount On-Site Sale" ... Uiryeong Garye Batminari Festival to be Held on March 15

Uiryeong-gun, Gyeongnam, will hold the "3rd Uiryeong Gare Batminari Festival" for three days from March 15 to 17 at the Gare Batminari Collection Center.

Uiryeong Batminari began to be cultivated in fields, rather than rice paddies where minari was traditionally grown, for the first time nationwide in 1994, eliminating concerns about parasitic infections such as leeches. Clean Batminari has been produced for 30 years and is mass-produced in the Gare-myeon area.

It is cultivated using clear and clean natural bedrock water in the pristine areas at the foot of Jagulsan and Hanusan mountains, and has received the Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) certification, being sold through a clean and pollution-free method.

Uiryeong Batminari is soft with excellent taste and aroma, making it a safe food that can be eaten fresh as a salad or wrapped in leaves.

At the festival site, a food market will be held where visitors can taste dishes such as Batminari Samgyeopsal (pork belly), Batminari fresh bibimbap, and Batminari jeon (pancakes), along with hands-on harvesting experience events.

Especially at this festival, Batminari will be sold at a 30% discount compared to market prices to encourage consumers who hesitate to purchase due to soaring vegetable prices caused by decreased production from climate change.

Jung Young-gyu, president of the Jagulsan Clean Batminari Farming Association, said, "Uiryeong Gare Batminari is cultivated with care using good soil and clean water," adding, "We hope that people enjoy delicious minari along with prosperous energy in Uiryeong and that many good things happen in the new spring."
