EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Geumsan, a small town located about 200 km south of Seoul in South Korea. In this image, we see a sweet drink made from fermented ginseng and rice, known as Insam in Korean. The beverage is beautifully presented with its vibrant color and delicate texture. Ginseng has long been revered for its numerous health benefits, including relieving fatigue, boosting immunity, and even fighting cancer due to its high content of saponin. Geumsan is renowned for being one of the traditional Insam markets in the country. It serves as a hub where locals and visitors alike can indulge in the wonders of this precious root. The photograph was taken on September 2nd, 2009, just before an exciting Insam festival that was set to take place later that month. This annual event celebrates all things ginseng-related and attracts people from far and wide who come to experience the rich cultural heritage associated with this remarkable plant. Through this image captured by Lee Jae-Won for Reuters Images, we are transported into a world where tradition meets innovation; where nature's bounty is transformed into delightful elixirs that nourish both body and soul. It serves as a reminder of how food can be not only sustenance but also an expression of culture and well-being.
