Maesil extract (Maesil-cheong) is used widely in traditional Korean cuisine as a sweetener. It's made from maesil (aka green plums) and makes many dishes much more delicious than if you just used sugar. The result is more flavorful, fragrant, fresh, and complex. Maesil is also known to be really good for you, and Koreans believe preparing food and tea with maesil has many health benefits.
