Nature One Leaf Uiryeong Manggae Tteok(Manggae Rice Cake)

Features

In Gyeongsang-do, similax china is called 'manggae tree', which is why the rice cake made from its leaves is called 'manggae-tteok'. In the old days, manggaetteok was only eaten in summer, and manggae leaves were not available in winter, but now, manggae leaves collected in summer are salted and used, so they can be eaten all year round.

A Note from Mealtones

Manggaetteok started from the first origin that Gaya people and Baekje people married each other to resolve hostile relations, and Gaya, who was on the side of the bride, sent Manggaetteok as one of the foods. Also, Korean Justice soldiers during Japanese invasion of 1592, they served manggaetteok as a daily meal. Now, it is made in the form of rice cakes with red bean paste, and it has been gradually expanded to Uiryeong-eup, Burim, and Chilgok, and now it has become a specialty product representing Uiryeong-gun.

Taste

The scent of Smilax chinensis permeates into the rice cake, and the refreshing taste and the sweet and protein taste of red bean paste are well harmonized.
