Ingredients for Samgyetang... Seasonal Fruit Products Too

[Asia Economy Reporter Cha Min-young] SSG.com is launching a large-scale sale of health food-related products, ranging from home meal replacements (HMR) to ingredients for Samgyetang and seasonal fruits with high sugar content, to celebrate Chobok.

SSG.com announced on the 12th that it will hold the '2020 Boksoo Yeoljeon' special exhibition for one week from the 13th to the 19th. They have prepared over 20 types of easy-to-cook HMR health food products at discounts of up to 37%.

First, the representative product 'Olban Samgyetang Jin' is offered at a 16% discount, and 'Jongga Jip Samgyetang' is sold at a 33% discount. Additionally, 'Yangjaedong Geumgangsurim Insam Jangeotang' is available at a 23% discount, and 'Sodamhan Bapsang Special Oxtail Soup' is offered at a 37% discounted price.

For those who prefer to cook health foods themselves, a dawn delivery special exhibition is also underway until the 15th, offering over 80 types of health food ingredients at a 20% discount. Fresh chicken for Samgyetang is widely available, from 500g young chicken portions for single-person households to 1kg chickens for Baeksuk. In addition to essential ingredients such as dried jujube, fresh ginseng, and astragalus root, live abalones from Wando can also be purchased.

Seasonal fruits, which are good for hydration, are also sold at discounts of up to 25%. Notably, the 'Premium Sugar-Selected Watermelon (Special)' harvested in Maengdong-myeon, Eumseong-gun, Chungbuk, is offered at a 10% discount. The 'Famous Region Gimcheon Plum' is also introduced, which comes with a limited quantity of sample Shine Muscat grapes as a gift upon purchase.

Meanwhile, health food product sales through the crowdfunding platform 'Ururu' are also popular. This method gathers customers who intend to purchase specific products within a set period, and once the target amount and quantity are reached, the sale is confirmed. This group purchase format allows customers to buy at a lower price. The reservation product 'Live Wando Abalone,' delivered on the Chobok date, is about 30% cheaper, and the 'Sugar-Selected Maengdong Watermelon' is 40% cheaper. Both products have exceeded 300% of their target amounts, and reservations are available until the 12th and 13th, respectively.

To promote sales, SSG.com will provide Samgyetang ingredients free of charge to the first 10,000 customers who use dawn delivery from the 13th to the 14th. Additionally, all customers who purchase Samgyetang and health food event products worth 20,000 won or more will receive 1,000 S Money points.
