Based in South Korea, Natuur is a well-loved ice cream brand chain. Known for its luscious green tea ice cream, the brand sells its delicious products in its stores across the nation, featuring soft-serve and ice cream by the scoop. The brand also sells pints at grocery and convenience stores.
While Natuur already sells fruity sorbets, its recent launch expands its range to include creamy dairy-alternative ice creams in addition to its juicy frozen desserts. Its two new vegan and plant-based flavors are currently sold in pints. The Cashew Vanilla ice cream is made from cashew milk and boasts a light vanilla flavor. The brand's second vegan launch is a Coconut Pineapple ice cream, which fills the pallet with the taste of tropical pineapple and coconut delight.
