Taste of Jeju

Taste of Jeju is inspired by Christy Hyonsuk’s summer trips to Jeju Island, a place she visited family and enjoy fresher seafood together. Her paintings mix memories and tastes with bright colors, celebrating Jeju’s spirit and the special bond with food.

Jeju Tangerines

Jeju tangerines are more than a sunny snack — they’re a little burst of island health shaped by volcanic soil, sea breezes, and centuries of care.

Here’s why they’re especially good for your body and spirit:

  • Rich in vitamin C: One tangerine can provide a large portion of your daily vitamin C, which supports immune function, collagen production for skin, and antioxidant protection.

  • High in flavonoids and carotenoids: Compounds like hesperidin and beta-cryptoxanthin help reduce inflammation, support cardiovascular health, and may lower certain disease risks.

  • Natural antioxidants: Jeju’s unique growing conditions concentrate antioxidants that neutralize free radicals and slow cellular aging.

  • Dietary fiber: The peel and flesh contain fiber that aids digestion, supports steady blood sugar, and promotes satiety.

  • Low in calories, nutrient-dense: A sweet, low-calorie way to get vitamins, minerals, and hydration without excess sugar or fat.

  • Electrolytes and minerals: Small amounts of potassium and other minerals help with fluid balance and muscle function.

  • Mood-boosting aroma: The citrus scent is uplifting and may reduce stress — a little olfactory island therapy.

  • Gentle on the land: Traditional Jeju farming practices emphasize harmony with nature, producing fruit with fewer chemicals and a purer taste.
