Common fruits and the Korean names you will see at the market.

1 / 21 Fruit is an important part of Korean life. It is a common gift for holidays and visits, a typical dessert after dinner and a common gift when visiting someone in hospital. Prices can be high, so a box of perfect pears or apples at Chuseok is considered a thoughtful present. Korean markets sell fruit by the piece, bag or box, and every season has its star fruit: strawberries in winter, melons in summer and persimmons in autumn. Learn these names to shop at the market, read labels in the supermarket and order fruit juice at a cafe.
Go to a market, point at each fruit and say its name. Seeing the real thing locks the word in.
