**200g of dried *Miyeokchwi* (Korean aster)**

Ulleungdo *Miyeokchwi* grows in sunny, well-lit areas; its leaves are large and thin, and it has a strong aroma and soft texture, making it suitable for use as a side dish, wrap, or in soups.

Due to its unique taste and aroma, it is the most popular edible wild vegetable in the spring. It also possesses pharmacological effects, so the entire plant is used as an ingredient in herbal medicine. It contains large amounts of Vitamin A and polyphenols such as caffeic acid and rutin, and is said to be utilized for treating colds, headaches, pain relief, stomach ailments, kidney problems, pneumonia, jaundice, and as an anticancer treatment. (Excerpt from Ulleungdo Agricultural Technology Center data)

When boiled, dried *Miyeokchwi* expands to 6 to 7 times its original size.

Please refer to the store's notice board for cooking instructions.

Storage Method: Cool, shaded area / 12 months

Unlike on the mainland, all wild vegetables from Ulleungdo are grown using a 100% natural open-field cultivation method, rather than greenhouse cultivation. As it is a seasonal wild vegetable, it is harvested when its taste and aroma are at their peak, processed into dried greens, and sold year-round.

and is said to be utilized as a treatment for colds, headaches, pain relief, stomach ailments, kidney and gallbladder problems, pneumonia, jaundice, and anticancer agents. (Excerpt from data by the Ulleungdo Agricultural Technology Center)

Rich in dietary fiber, Aster has large, broad leaves; so dried Aster is boiled and prepared as a wrap vegetable to substitute for lettuce during the hot summer,

and eaten wrapped in delicious soybean paste to help beat the heat. I believe that wild vegetable bibimbap, made with dried aster, bujigaengi, samnamul, and gobi, is a delicacy that brings the essence of Ulleungdo to the tables of the residents of Kkotma.
