Jeonbuk Life 2018-1 Spring

After enduring a long-winding cold
winter, everyone is looking forward to enjoy the
outdoors— the perfect weather and the breathtaking
sight of cherry blossoms. Convenience stores are the best place
to go to for a quick snack fix. Spring has definitely sprung all
over Korea as all kinds of limited-edition spring-inspired food
and drinks fill the shelves of stores.
Strawberry and chocolate (2) (8)
Choco Pie is a staple snack or dessert in Korea,
but this Spring, it comes with a strawberry flavor
layered with thick yoghurt that is simply hard to
resist. Another must-try is Market O’s strawberry tart
chocolate bar that’s sure to hit the right notes.
Generally, when we think of spring, strawberries and peaches
are the fruits available in season. This is because strawberry
season in Korea takes place between March and April, and with
sweet flavor and mouthwatering aroma, they’re always a big
hit. Mimicking the vibrant pink color of the cherry blossoms,
strawberry flavored snacks sell out instantly, especially when
they’re made even more delicious with chocolate.
Peach and Rose Jelly (3)
Young children enjoy eating jelly at any season.
But peach and rose flavored jellies are introduced
to the stores in the beginning of Spring because
of their bright color and sweet taste that’s
representative of this happy season. Luckily,
these come in different sizes and brands that are
available at all convenience stores.
Chips (5) (7) and popcorn (4)

Honey bees are very busy on this spring time, and the
sweet harvest of honey also poured over different
kinds of snacks to enhance their flavor. Honey butter
flavored chips caused a craze all over Korea when
it first came out, but this time, the brand made a
limited-edition cherry blossom chips that you won’t
be able to stop munching. The popcorn also takes
another floral form as each little piece is turned pink
to recreate the lovely blooms.
Triangle Kimbap (6)

Don’t like snacks? Triangle Kimbaps are the easiest
and most convenient rice meal wrapped in a
seaweed laver you can eat wherever you are. This
macaroni cheese triangle kimbap is made spicy
with hot red chili that claims to make your Spring
an unforgettable experience.

their bright pink color.
