Grilled Gamtae Seaweed 5 sheets 18g

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.

Who Produces Badasup Gamtae?

Our Badasup Gamtae products are made by Song Cheol-su, a famous Gamtae artisan from Seosan, Chungcheongnam-do. With 40 years of know-how, he handpicks high-quality Gamtae and handles every step from harvesting to drying, embodying the spirit of a master Gamtae artisan.

"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."

Pioneer Who Brought Gamtae to the World

Starting in the 1980s, the premium brand Badasup introduced Gamtae, which was only known in a few regions, to the entire country. Not stopping there, it made Gamtae a sought-after ingredient in hotels and Michelin-starred chefs worldwide.
