EU Good Food Fruits Add a Fresh Accent to Korea's Culinary Scene
European kiwis and canned peaches, sourced from the Mediterranean region, bring a fresh and flavour-rich dimension to Korean dining. More than just snacks or dessert ingredients, these fruits combine exceptional flavour, texture, and natural balance – making them ideal additions to a wide variety of Korean dishes.
A Fresh Accent to Korean Plates
Celebrated for their quality and flavour, European kiwis and canned peaches bring a pleasant harmony and creative highlights to Korean cuisine. European kiwis offer a distinctive gentle tartness and naturally active enzymes, making them highly versatile for both sweet and savoury applications. They elevate fruit salads and desserts, while also providing a refreshing counterpoint in traditional dishes. When incorporated into naengmyeon, for instance, the crisp tang of kiwi delivers a clean, invigorating twist that complements the dish's signature flavours.
Similarly, European canned peaches offer a mellow sweetness and smooth, velvety texture, making them an ideal ingredient for pancakes, butter tarts, and griddled hotteok. When paired with iced Americano, their rich flavour harmonises with the coffee's bitterness, creating a balanced and indulgent treat.
Taste with Integrity – Backed by EU Standards
What sets these fruits apart is the assurance of quality under EU Good Food. Cultivated, harvested, and packaged according to strict EU regulations, they are fully traceable from orchard to packaging. European farmers prioritise soil health, minimise synthetic inputs, and protect natural ecosystems.
This dedication to quality is evident in each fruit. European kiwis are carefully harvested at peak ripeness. This ensures optimal texture, a balanced sweet-tart flavour, and excellent durability during transport and storage. The result is a fruit that maintains its freshness and appeal long after it leaves the orchard. Similarly, peaches are picked only at full maturity and preserved without unnecessary additives. Thanks to clean, modern processing techniques, canned peaches retain their natural juiciness, aroma, and velvety texture.
Beyond flavour and freshness, both kiwis and peaches are naturally rich in vitamin C, potassium, and dietary fibre. Their clean-label profile aligns with Korea's growing demand for minimally processed, additive-free products. The official EU certification ensures that every product meets rigorous safety, quality, and consistency standards.
Grown with care and packed with goodness, European kiwis and canned peaches bring freshness, flavour, and essential nutrients to Korean tables.
Since its introduction to Korea, the EU Good Food campaign has made a significant impact through a series of targeted and high-profile activities.
From immersive tasting events at Seoul Food & Hotel to strategic networking initiatives connecting EU suppliers with Korean buyers – including renowned chefs, importers, and key industry stakeholders – the campaign has actively fostered meaningful exchange and long-term collaboration. It has also showcased how seamlessly European products can be integrated into the Korean culinary landscape.
Whether featured in intimate family dinners or innovative fusion menus, these fruits bring a refined and flavourful touch to the season. With their bright and rich taste, European kiwis and canned peaches are a natural choice – equally suited for passionate home cooks looking to elevate everyday meals with superior ingredients, and for culinary professionals aiming to craft truly distinctive dining experiences.

Britain cancels extra border checks for animals ahead of UK-EU deal
LONDON (Reuters) -Britain is suspending the previously planned introduction of extra border checks on live animal imports from the European Union to ease trade ahead of the implementation of a deal agreed in May to reduce friction, the UK government said on Monday. Extra border checks on some animal and plant goods imported from Ireland will also be suspended. May's sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) deal, part of a wider reset in UK-EU relations, will reduce paperwork and remove routine border checks on plant and animal products moving between the UK and EU, while maintaining high food standards. However, the deal is yet to be implemented as details are still being negotiated. In the meantime, British traders must continue to comply with the terms of the UK's Border Target Operating Model (BTOM) that protect the country's biosecurity, including existing checks. The suspension of the introduction of additional border checks follows the announcement in June that checks on EU fruit and vegetable imports had been scrapped. A spokesperson for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs could not give a timeline for implementation of the SPS deal. When Britain left the EU's single market in 2021, the EU immediately enforced its rules, leading to port delays and prompting some British exporters to stop selling to the bloc. Britain was much slower implementing its post-Brexit border arrangements, and after repeated delays and confusion it started to set new rules in phases from January last year.

President Trump's crackdown on crime in Washington, D.C., continues a decades-long American story: Data says crime is going down, even as many Americans feel like it's spiraling out-of-control.

Traders hope the Ukraine war could end soon. Experts say there's no 'quick fix'
Global markets were on tenterhooks Monday as momentum to end the war in Ukraine appeared to be ramping up, with European leaders heading to Washington for more talks with U.S. President Donald Trump on ending the war in Ukraine. European markets traded mixed ahead of the summit later today at the White House, which follows Trump's high-profile meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday, while U.S. stock futures had moved lower. Meanwhile, Asia-Pacific indices overnight traded mostly higher in anticipation of the talks. Traders will be hoping that an end to the Russia-Ukraine war — a conflict which began in 2022 and which has shaken the global economy, disrupting trade and supply chains, and creating geopolitical chasms between major economies in the West and East — could be nearer now than at any other time. But those in the know say fledgling talks between stakeholders Russia, Ukraine, Europe and the U.S. are just the beginning of what could be a long and thorny path to a ceasefire — as Trump's inconclusive talks with Putin on Friday proved — let alone peace. That would be in stark contrast to Trump's well-documented love of a quick deal, and should be a wake-up call for global market optimism, experts say. "Peace agreements take a very, very long time to achieve," James Bindenagel, visiting fellow at the German Marshall Fund and former U.S. ambassador to Germany, told CNBC Monday. "And what Putin has said is that he wants peace talks so he can continue the war, knowing that it won't come to a peace agreement for a very long time. That is simply not acceptable," he said. "You cannot negotiate on a peace agreement for five years, ten years, and let the Russians continue their war against the Ukrainians." European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, NATO chief Mark Rutte, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer are among the European leaders traveling to Washington for talks on Monday. They're accompanying Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to discuss Ukraine's future and possible conditions for a peace deal, including land swaps (reportedly proposed by Putin) and security guarantees — all seen as crucial by Europe, if there is to be a ceasefire and peace. Trump has ruled out the possibility of Ukraine regaining control of Crimea, which Russia invaded in 2014, and joining NATO. Zelenskyy is likely to come under pressure to enter a deal. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the Ukrainian president could "end the war with Russia almost immediately, if he wants to, or he can continue to fight." The meeting follows Trump's summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin last Friday, but the talks concluded without a ceasefire. It's been widely reported since then that Putin told Trump that he would agree to one, if Russia was handed Ukraine's eastern Donbas region. The view from Ukraine is not optimistic, considering that Putin had already rejected the offer of a ceasefire that could form the basis of peace negotiations. "To achieve a big peace deal is much more difficult," Oleksiy Goncharenko, a Ukrainian lawmaker, told CNBC on Monday. "It's a difficult question with big details and it will take a lot of time," he told CNBC's "Europe Early Edition." European defense stocks were in focus Monday, with traders betting on a positive outlook for the sector whatever the outcome of talks as European leaders have pledged to increase defense spending. On Monday, Germany's Rheinmetall was up 2.8%, while Hensoldt and Renk were also around 4% higher, respectively. Italian firm Leonardo was up 2.1% in early deals while London-listed BAE Systems also traded 2.3% higher and Babcock 3.4% higher. "This is the beginning of a long negotiation," Olivia Allison, senior advisor at PRISM Strategic Intelligence, told CNBC Monday. "Anyone looking for a quick fix will be disappointed," she noted. "Regardless of the outcome ... there will be an emphasis on defense, on protecting critical national infrastructure, and I think the markets should also take that into account," she noted. "A peace deal, which I think will be a long process, is not an end to the relationship between Russia and Europe."
