Made with 100% Domestic Rice... Orion Launches ‘New Nurungji’

Orion has released ‘New Nurungji,’ a rice snack made from 100% domestically produced rice.

Orion developed this product to enjoy rice more deliciously and healthily while promoting rice consumption. Unlike typical snacks, New Nurungji is baked in an oven instead of being fried. Using 100% domestic rice, it is perfect for consumers looking for flour-free snacks. It is expected to evoke familiarity among middle-aged and older generations who grew up eating nurungji, while offering novelty to the MZ generation. The product name cleverly combines the English word ‘New,’ meaning ‘new,’ with ‘Nurungji’ to form ‘New Nurungji,’ reflecting its characteristics.

New Nurungji is produced at Orion Nonghyup’s Miryang factory. Orion Nonghyup is a joint venture established in 2016 by Orion and Nonghyup to expand the consumption of domestic agricultural products.
