Special Product: Pot Lid Tomato
Pot Lid (Jeonggwan) Tomatoes have sweet and sour taste and strong flesh and as such, boast the country's best taste and quality. The name 'Pot Lid (Jeonggwan) Tomato' originates from 'Jeonggwan' (Pot Jeong-Traditional cylindrical Korean hat Gwan) because the shape of the village looks like a pot lid, 'Jeonggwan'. This shows the villagers' unwavering commitment to safeguard the taste and quality of Jeonggwan Tomato on the honor of the village itself as well as their pride in Jeonggwan Tomato.
Pot Lid (Jeonggwan) Tomato is manufactured based on a 60 year cultivation history on the fertile soil of Nakdong River mouth and the best cultivation technology. An environment friendly agricultural product cultivated with little fertilizer because not much damage is caused by blight and harmful insects. The tomatoes have been recognized for their quality and as such, they boast the highest quality on the market, so much so that they are not only distributed domestically but also exported to Japan. Compared to other regions, the Pot Lid (Jeonggwan) Tomato displays darker red texture. The reason that tomatoes display red texture is because of the component known as 'lycopene'. Lycopene suppresses oxygen free radicals, which cause aging and damage to the DNA, and has the effect of delaying the aging of the artery and of preventing cancer.
