Gijang seaweed and kelp are cultivated in the clean waters off Gijang, where the currents are swift and organic matter is abundant. They are known for their outstanding antioxidant and immune-boosting properties, and are especially beneficial for postpartum recovery. Historically, their exceptional taste was so renowned that they were even served at the royal table.
