One of the most well-known medicinal ingredients that is found on land is the ginseng root. However‚ a counterpart of ginseng can be found in the sea.
It is none other than the sea cucumber‚ or haesam‚ which literally means the "ginseng of the ocean"!
What do people think about the sea cucumber in general[Interview : Lee Chang-hun] "It doesn't look delicious. It looks weird‚ too."
[Interview : Jeong Su-jin] "I don't really eat this as a main dish. I tend to eat it more like a side dish next to the main meal."
[Interview : Shin Hyeok-rae] "Maybe the reasons why people don't really look for it to eat are because it's hard to find‚ and not many people know how to cook it."
In this institute‚ studies on sea cucumbers are conducted. Sea cucumbers are not commonly seen or found‚ but their health benefits are hard to ignore.
[Interview : Kim Ju‚ Head of the Principal Research Team
Jeonju Biomaterials Institute ] "When comparing sea cucumbers to oysters‚ which some people refer to as the "milk of the ocean‚" sea cucumbers contain 7 times more protein‚ 16 times more calcium‚ and more than 14 times the amount of potassium. They are really beneficial to children‚ expectant women‚ and the elderly."
Containing many nutrients such as protein‚ calcium‚ and iron‚ sea cucumbers are known to stimulate the metabolism and cleanse the blood.
As research continues to unfold more benefits contained in the sea cucumber‚ new ways are being developed in order to consume it more conveniently.
Since its inception in 2003‚ HEAWON has concentrated its efforts on developing sea cucumber-based products.
[Interview : Kang Yang-gyu‚ CEO
HEAWON] "HEAWON is the only company in Korea specializing in processing sea cucumber. We conduct R&D on sea cucumbers and process them for dietary supplements and other health-promoting products."
Instead of manufacturing existing health products based on ginseng and red ginseng‚ HEAWON chose sea cucumber as the main ingredient for its products‚ incorporating in the process ingredients like red ginseng and other medicinal herbs.
The most important part in the manufacturing process is to mix the ingredients at the right ratio and heat them for 144 hours.
[Interview : Lim Chang-jin‚ Director
HEAWON] "We experimented with different durations for heating‚ and we came to conclusion that 144 hours of heating produced the best end result. So we have been following those hours ever since."
Following the traditional methods of producing Kyeong Okgo ‚ one of the best known restorative remedies in Korean oriental medicine‚ HEAWON has created the Haesam Okgo.
The product comes in diverse forms‚ ranging from liquid to even jelly form. This product does not include any preservatives or chemicals‚ opting instead for only all natural ingredients.
Featured in 9 different products‚ sea cucumber is thus made accessible to the consumer.
And among many people who enjoy these products‚ we met a lady who enjoys them immensely.
Choi Haeng-ja who is in her 60s‚ has consumed sea cucumber daily for the past 5 years.
She takes spoonfuls like it is honey‚
and even swallows them with water. So what exactly is she taking[Interview : Choi Haeng-ja‚ Customer] "I'm eating sea cucumber."
These are the sea cucumber products that she takes daily‚ placed on the dining table for convenience!
[Interview : Choi Haeng-ja‚ Customer] "Eating sea cucumber makes me feel less tired‚ so I have no trouble walking up the stairs all the way to the 8th floor‚ where I live. I consider myself an active person‚ and the fact that I don't get tired after eating this is definitely a plus."
Sea cucumbers are rich in vitamins and minerals‚ two elements that are vital in overcoming fatigue‚ and they are also kn
