Spring in Korea brings attention to 'Minari' (water parsley), a seasonal herb known for its health benefits and distinct flavor. Due to the rise of the 'Healthy Pleasure' trend, this herb is becoming increasingly popular in dishes such as Minari pancakes, Minari pork belly, and Minari hot pot. Major supermarkets are now offering discounts on Minari and products featuring it, like yogurt and drinks. Historically, Minari has been used in Korea since the Goryeo Dynasty and valued for its medicinal properties in detoxifying the body, including counteracting alcohol effects. As an alkaline food rich in vitamins and minerals, Minari is a natural choice for combating springtime pollution like yellow dust. Its fresh taste and crunchy texture make it a delightful addition to meals.
