Soft, chewy and sweet like fruit jelly. Gam-malraengi are bite-size pieces of dried persimmon, and Hanul makes theirs from Cheongdo bansi, Korea's famous seedless flat persimmons. They're peeled, cut and slowly dried with nothing added.

Why you'll love it

• Famous Cheongdo persimmons: Cheongdo, at the southern tip of Gyeongsangbuk-do, is known for clear water and green hills. Its bansi persimmons are seedless, flat-shaped, juicy and naturally high in sugar.
• Sweeter and softer than regular dried persimmon: the fruit is ripened in cold storage to remove any astringency, then peeled, cut and slowly dried for a tender, chewy texture that almost melts in your mouth.
• 100% Korean persimmon: no added sugar, flavorings or preservatives.
• An easy, wholesome snack: grab a pack for a busy morning commute, a better-for-you sweet treat, or a light snack between meals.
• Award-winning maker: Hanul received a Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy commendation at the 25th Korea Distribution Awards and the grand prize at the 2020 Korea Agri-Food Distribution Awards.

Good to know

• A white powdery coating is natural fruit sugar (glucose) rising to the surface as the persimmon dries. It's perfectly safe to eat.
• Small black spots aren't foreign matter. They form naturally during drying when the persimmon's tannins react, and they're safe to eat.
• The pack contains an oxygen absorber to keep the fruit fresh. Don't eat it.
