Cheongip Kimchi·Kimchi Kongbiji Jjigae...Highly Rated for Popularity and Resource Circulation

Ourhome announced on the 12th that 'Gussi Banga Cheongip Kimchi' and 'Kimchi Kongbiji Jjigae' were selected as 'Innovative Products' (SIAL INNOVATION PARIS 2024 SELECTION) at 'SIAL PARIS 2024'.

SIAL PARIS 2024 is the world's largest international food exhibition, held in Paris, France from October 19 to 23. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the exhibition, with participation from over 7,500 companies from 130 countries worldwide, showcasing approximately 400,000 products, making it the largest event in its history.

Prior to the main exhibition, global food industry experts rigorously select innovative products based on marketability, technology, and sustainability. On average, about 1,800 products are submitted each time, and only three products receive the prestigious Grand Prix after strict evaluation.

Innovative products are displayed in a specially designated main hall, providing a unique opportunity to be introduced to various media, global industry stakeholders, and consumers. Through this, Ourhome expects to more effectively promote its status as a global K-food company.

The selected innovative products, Gussi Banga Cheongip Kimchi and Kimchi Kongbiji Jjigae, were developed using napa cabbage green leaves and kongbiji (soybean pulp) as main ingredients, receiving high praise from judges for their popularity and resource circulation aspects.

Despite the rich nutritional content of napa cabbage green leaves and kongbiji, these ingredients have traditionally been regarded as by-products generated during kimchi and tofu production at manufacturing sites. Ourhome utilized technology and know-how to develop products that preserve the original taste and nutrition of the ingredients while minimizing waste.

Yoo Seok-min, Head of Marketing at Ourhome, said, "We are pleased and honored that Ourhome products have been recognized for their excellence and selected as innovative products at the France International Food Exhibition, known as the world's largest food fair. We will continue to actively pursue sustainable and innovative food development to lead the global food industry."
