Unusual Cup Bingsu Race Heats Up With Mango, Tomato and ACV

Cafe operators are entering a new round of competition over single-serving cup bingsu for the summer season. The move reflects the spread of the “solo dessert” trend, as demand grows for bingsu that can be enjoyed easily by one person rather than traditional shaved ice shared by several people. Ingredients are also expanding beyond familiar fruits such as mango to more unusual choices including tomato and apple cider vinegar. The industry is trying to draw consumer attention by moving beyond conventional bingsu and strengthening both health-oriented appeal and visual differentiation. Cup bingsu menu competition is expected to become more varied ahead of the summer peak. Source: mk.co.kr
