Highlights

Fresh Korean ginger the moment you need it — no peeling, no grating, no half-used knob drying out in the fridge. Each tablet is 100% Korean ginger, freeze-dried at its freshest; add a splash of water and it comes back as bright, just-grated ginger in seconds.

Ingredients: 100% Korean ginger
Purity check: No additives, no preservatives; vegan
Process: Fully freeze-dried (no heat), pressed into tablets with no binders
Certifications: HACCP; FSSC 22000; US FDA
Net weight: 20 g (0.71 oz), about 34–36 tablets
Storage method: Store in a cool, dry place; refrigerate after opening
Allergens: Made in a facility that also handles soybean, wheat, buckwheat, chicken, beef, and clams
Good to know: Not a powder to sprinkle — one tablet needs a little water to turn back into grated ginger.

필요한 순간 바로 쓰는 신선한 국산 생강. 껍질도, 강판도, 냉장고에서 말라가는 남은 조각도 없어요. 한 알은 100% 국산 생강을 가장 신선할 때 동결건조한 것 — 물 한 방울이면 몇 초 만에 갓 간 듯 화사한 생강으로 되살아납니다.

Description

Ginger without the prep

Korean ginger is sharper and more pungent than the ginger common in Western markets, and it turns up almost everywhere — Korean stews and marinades, of course, but also across East and Southeast Asian cooking. The catch is always the prep: peeling a knobby root and grating it is slow work, and the leftover piece tends to dry out or soften in the fridge before you use it. One Tablet Ground Ginger skips all of that. It's 100% Korean ginger, freeze-dried whole and pressed into tablets with nothing else added.

Why it tastes freshly grated

The difference is in the drying. Heat-drying flattens ginger's bright, spicy edge; Trunas freeze-dries instead, flash-freezing the root at its freshest and drying it under vacuum with no heat, so the aroma and warmth stay close to fresh. A tablet smells faint until it meets water — then the full, just-grated fragrance blooms back almost at once.

How to use it

Bloom a tablet in a spoonful of water and use it as grated ginger: whisked into a marinade with soy and garlic, stirred into a stir-fry or a pot of stew, or dropped straight into simmering broth. It reaches well past the Korean kitchen, too — a curry, a salad dressing, a ginger tea, even baking. One tablet goes a long way, so start small and add to taste.

손질 없이 쓰는 생강

국산 생강은 서양에서 흔한 생강보다 더 알싸하고 향이 강해요. 그리고 거의 모든 요리에 등장하죠. 한식 찌개와 양념은 물론, 동아시아·동남아 요리 전반에요. 늘 걸리는 건 손질입니다. 울퉁불퉁한 뿌리를 까고 가는 일은 번거롭고, 쓰다 남은 조각은 다 쓰기도 전에 냉장고에서 마르거나 물러지죠. 이 제품은 그 과정을 통째로 건너뜁니다. 100% 국산 생강을 통으로 동결건조해, 다른 무엇도 더하지 않고 알로 굳혔어요.

갓 간 듯한 맛의 비결

차이는 말리는 방식이에요. 열로 말리면 생강 특유의 화사하고 알싸한 끝맛이 무뎌집니다. 트루나스는 대신 동결건조를 써요. 가장 신선할 때 급속 냉동한 뒤 열 없이 진공에서 말려, 향과 매운기를 생것에 가깝게 지키죠. 물이 닿기 전엔 향이 은은하다가, 물을 만나는 순간 갓 갈아낸 듯한 향이 곧바로 살아납니다.

이렇게 쓰세요

한 알을 물 한 숟갈에 불려 다진 생강 쓰듯 넣으세요. 간장·마늘과 함께 양념장에, 볶음이나 찌개에, 끓는 육수에 바로요. 한식 밖에서도 잘 어울립니다. 커리, 샐러드 드레싱, 생강차, 베이킹까지요. 한 알이면 꽤 넉넉하니 조금씩 넣어 간을 맞추세요.

About

Trunas — the name is short for "true nature as it is" — is a Korean freeze-drying company based near the Namhan River in Chungju. Led by food scientist Dr. Sangsik Kim, it made its name with the world's first coin-shaped freeze-dried seasoning: a patented tablet of whole ingredients with nothing added, the product that created Korea's "coin broth" category. Trunas fully freeze-dries every ingredient — flash-frozen at its freshest, then dried under vacuum with no heat — so color, aroma, and flavor stay close to fresh. Its facility is certified to HACCP, FSSC 22000, and US FDA standards, with official vegan certification for its plant-based line.

트루나스(Trunas)는 '자연 그대로(true nature as it is)'에서 온 이름이에요. 충북 충주, 남한강 자락에 자리한 동결건조 식품 기업입니다. 식품공학자 김상식 박사가 이끄는 회사로, 세계 최초의 코인형 동결건조 조미료 — 아무것도 더하지 않고 원재료만 굳힌 특허 한 알 — 로 이름을 알렸어요. 한국의 '코인 육수' 카테고리를 처음 연 제품이죠. 트루나스는 모든 재료를 완전 동결건조합니다. 가장 신선할 때 급속 냉동한 뒤 열 없이 진공에서 말려, 빛깔과 향, 맛을 생것에 가깝게 지켜요. 생산 시설은 HACCP·FSSC 22000·미국 FDA 기준 인증을 받았고, 식물성 라인은 정식 비건 인증을 받았습니다.

01 · OUR CRAFT

Made By Hand, Not By Machine

Every jar and bottle comes from master artisans and small family producers across Korea, not a factory line. They still ferment in traditional earthenware, age for months or even years, and follow methods passed down through generations, the same way it's always been done.

02 · OUR PROOF

Recognized By Chefs, Not Just Labels

Our producers hold official heritage titles and food-safety certifications that aren't handed out easily. Many have been featured by international media and praised by Michelin-starred chefs around the world, proof that real craftsmanship gets noticed, not just claimed on a label.

About Us:

At Kim’C Market, our mission is to introduce a better, more authentic culinary experience—by offering premium Korean food products that are healthy, tasty, and thoughtfully sourced.

We started Kim’C Market because getting real Korean groceries in the U.S. was nearly impossible—unless you stuffed your suitcase on the way back from Korea. You deserve more than what’s on the shelves at generic supermarkets.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon will I receive my package?

We ship out orders only in the US, no later than

Delivery is made 1-3 days from date the label is created with selected
carrier service.

With our mission to improve people’s health by

Sell by date

Every food product at Kim'C Market with less than 3 months to the sell by dates announce the date in the title page.

As a small company focusing on the best customer experience and
transparency, Kim'C Market is putting a weight on sharing information on food and correcting myths instead of asking producers to print later dates. (Fact: producers put a lot shorter dates than the lab tests suggest because they can't control the storage and distribution.) Sell by date doesn't mean the food is bad after the date or not edible. It especially doesn't reply to fermented foods - i.e. wouldn't you value aged kimchi or 5 years fermented doenjang? Please read our blog: Understanding Best-By Dates. We will continue to make efforts to educate our members and contribute to anti-global warming efforts.
