Fruits in Korea are seasonal just like in any other place. You can mark the seasons with the coming and going of the Korean fruits! Strawberries welcome the spring while the oriental melons are all about the scorching summer heat. Apples come when the sweltering weather is almost at its end and tangerines are the perfect representation of fall and winter!

South Korea is famous for its incredibly tasty food and Korean fruits are no different. Locally grown fruits like strawberries and persimmons have become famous worldwide.

Korean Winter Fruits

As the fall creeps in after the blazing hot summers, the distinctive sweetness of the citrus family of fruits adds a splash of color to the fall foliage. Wherever you go, you can enjoy the distinctive aroma of mandarin oranges, be it grocery stores or an open market. During the freezing temperatures, you will find people carrying bags full of tangerines and their fingers tinted coral after peeling and enjoy the Korean winter fruits.

During winters, you must try mandarin oranges from Jeju, Yuja, and Hallabong mandarins (also from Jeju) if you are in South Korea!

Mandarin Oranges (귤)

A sweet and sour fruit that feels poppy and juicy. They are native to Jeju Island but the varieties have increased in recent years. These include Cheonhyehyang (soft and tender flesh with light acidity) and Redhyang (reddish thicker skin) varieties.

  • Juice – Main part of many bevergages
  • Dried peels – Useful to add flavors to cookies, ice creams, and cakes
