Ancient grains that
the Korean food industry is paying attention to.
Do you know which people can't live without carbs but can't give up dieting?
It's Korean.
Koreans' carbohydrate intake is 307.8g, more than three times the recommended daily amount of 100g.
Meanwhile, Koreans are also serious about diet and health to the extent that sales of low-calorie and low-sugar foods are soaring in the Korean market.
There is a grain that is popular among Koreans who cannot give up both carbohydrates and health.
It's an ancient grain.
So, what are the top three ancient grains that are actively consumed in Korea?
1. Italy’s Treasure, 'Farro'
Farro is enriched with minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron, and copper, which aid in nutrient absorption and digestion. This is due to its notably low phytic acid content, which typically hinders mineral absorption and can lead to nutritional deficiencies. This grain is gaining popularity among influential Koreans like 'Aori' and ‘Gwanjong Un-ni’.
2. Supergrains from South America, 'Quinoa'
Grown in the Andes Mountains, quinoa is much smaller than rice but packs a greater nutritional punch, offering twice the protein and seven times the calcium. Its gluten-free nature makes it ideal for those with flour allergies, atopy, or indigestion.
3. Good Carbohydrates, 'Khorasan Wheat'
Khorasan wheat promotes kidney health through its balance of sodium and potassium and is packed with vitamins and minerals for a strong antioxidant effect. It's particularly rich in essential amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber, and is favored by diabetics due to its low glycemic index, significantly lower than that of brown rice.
These ancient grains are expected to see high demand in the Korean market and are drawing the attention of many in the Korean food industry.
Currently, Greenlabs is sourcing Khorasan wheat, recognized for its benefits in managing blood sugar and providing antioxidant protection.
