Because gamtae is sensitive, it can only be harvested in a few regions in Korea, which is famous for its good tidal flat quality. Since it is harvested only in the winter of the year, the yield is quite low.
So it’s expensive, but it’s delicious enough to pay the high price.
As awareness of Korea’s seaweed exports has increased to the point where it exceeds 1 trillion won, and the number of people looking for premium seaweed has increased overseas, gamtae has been caught on the radar of foreigners.
Accordingly, the export volume of gamtae is said to be increasing.
If this happens, distribution is already limited due to low harvests, but due to the amount exported, distribution becomes even smaller, and gamtae, which is already expensive and cannot be eaten often, becomes more expensive, creating a vicious cycle..ㅜ,.ㅜ
I tried gamtae as a gift before, and it tasted really different from regular seaweed!! ㅜ,.ㅜ
