Description

A decorative and natural stalk with a crunchy and fresh mouthfeel. The fresh Gangnam Tops transition into a slightly bitter flavor reminiscent of purslane. 

Gangnam Tops are primarily a flavorful addition to salads or sandwiches, but combine with multiple ingredients. Think oily fish, such as mackerel or herring, or vegetables such as squash, fennel, beans, legumes or potato. Because of its mild flavor, it also pairs well with red fruit in desserts. The pale green color and length of Gangnam Tops makes them particularly decorative. They thus fit into today's trends: the natural look and Nordic Cruisine. A real jack-of-all-trades.

In Korean cuisine, Sedum is mentioned as early as the 16th and 17th centuries as a wild vegetable, Namul, and in dishes such as Dolnamul. However, it only grows in the wild. Koreans know the product mainly as a spring vegetable, to which they also attribute positive properties. It is claimed that the product prevents aging of young connective tissue because of its amount of polyphenols.
