Nonghyup Distribution, which operates the agricultural and food specialty store Nonghyup Hanaro Mart, announced on the 23rd that it will be selling 'Gamhong apples' for the first time this year. These apples are grown and produced in areas such as Mungyeong, North Gyeongsang Province. Gamhong apples were developed by the Horticultural Research Institute of the Rural Development Administration (now the National Institute of Horticultural and Herbal Science) through about 10 years of research, by crossbreeding the 'Spur Early Blaze' and 'Spur Golden Delicious' varieties. The apples are characterized by their bright red skin, dense flesh, and abundant juice. The company explained that the harmonious combination of sweetness and acidity gives them an outstanding flavor. The average sugar content is 15 to 16 Brix.
