Eco-Friendly, Pesticide-Free Palgongsan Water Parsley from Daegu Now on Sale

Palgongsan water parsley is now being shipped in earnest.

The Dong-gu District Office of Daegu (headed by Yoon Seokjun) announced that it began shipping and selling eco-friendly Palgongsan water parsley on January 10.

A water parsley farm in Midae-dong, Dong-gu, Daegu is preparing to ship water parsley.

Palgongsan water parsley is cultivated using the clean air of Palgongsan Mountain at altitudes above 200 meters and 150-meter-deep bedrock groundwater. In particular, it is produced using a pesticide-free, eco-friendly method, making it safe to eat. Its crisp texture and rich aroma have made it a highly sought-after health food for the spring season.

Since 2013, Dong-gu District in Daegu has registered a "Geographical Indication Collective Mark" to officially certify that the product is produced in a specific region, as part of its efforts to develop the Palgongsan eco-friendly water parsley brand. The district has also supported the supply of packaging and eco-friendly materials to help foster water parsley as a source of income for local farms.

Meanwhile, Palgongsan water parsley can be purchased directly from farms or ordered for delivery. It is also available at Kongsan Nonghyup, Daekyung Apple & Horticulture Nonghyup Hanaro Mart, and the Local Food Direct Store Daegu Market (Geomsa-dong). In addition, Dong-gu District plans to hold direct trade events at various locations, including the Dong-gu Office Open Plaza at the end of February, so that more people can experience water parsley.

Yoon Seokjun, head of Dong-gu District Office, said, "We will make various efforts to support local water parsley farmers. We ask for your active interest and participation."
