[Gurye Sandong, Moon Gwang-woon, agricultural and food specialist reporter for the Korean Farmers' Newspaper] These days, Gurye Sandong is in the midst of harvesting mountain yew berries. As the frost falls, the leaves of the mountain yew trees drop, and the branches reveal their fine, crimson red mountain yew berries, marking the beginning of the harvest. Sandong-myeon, the largest producer of mountain yew berries in the country, is gaining fame by hosting both the spring yellow flower festival and the November harvest festival. Mountain yew berries are known for their functions in protecting eyesight and maintaining eye health, as well as strengthening kidney function and improving the urinary system, alleviating menopausal symptoms, and providing antioxidant and anti-aging nourishment and vitality restoration. Gurye's mountain yew berries are rich in folic acid, niacin, saponins, vitamin C, potassium, zinc, etc., compared to other regions.
