Korean fruit hwachae is one of the oldest traditional foods in history. It was first documented in 1829, when ice was scarce and people enjoyed it to keep vegetables and fruits cool by the river or other cool places. Fruit hwachae is a popular summer dish made with seasonal fruits such as watermelon, Chamoe (oriental melon), peach, and strawberry. The fruits are finely chopped, soaked in sugar or honey, and then served chilled with water, milk, or soda. With its refreshing taste and fresh texture, fruit hwachae helps cool the summer heat and provides essential nutrients, making it the perfect summer snack to replenish lost nutrients during the hot season.
