What is Gamtae?

Gamtae, abundant in dietary fiber, calcium, and potassium, is known as a medicinal plant of the sea due to its richness in various minerals and vitamins, attracting many people. However, it can only be cultivated in clean areas with strict growth conditions free from pollution. It is a precious edible product that can be harvested only in some clean tidal flats of the western coast and Jeolla province through 100% natural production.

Certificate of Gamtae Artisan
Gamtae Artisan Certificate

"Hello, I am Song Cheol-su, Gamtae artisan of Seosan City. Harvesting Gamtae is one of the most difficult tasks done in the sea. In midwinter, we have to venture into tidal flats and harvest it ourselves. For that reason, Gamtae is a very precious food. The slightly bitter and unique aroma of Gamtae comes from absorbing the nutrients of the tidal flats."
