About Banchan

Banchan refers to a collection of small side dishes served alongside main meals in Korean cuisine. These dishes are typically prepared with vegetables, fermented ingredients, or seafood, offering a diverse range of flavors and textures. Common banchan includes kimchi, pickled radish, seasoned spinach, and stir-fried anchovies, among others. Rich in fiber, vitamins, and probiotics, banchan supports digestive health, boosts immunity, and provides essential nutrients. Many banchan dishes are low in calories and made using minimal oil, emphasizing natural flavors. Fermented options like kimchi contain beneficial bacteria that promote gut health. However, some banchan can be high in sodium due to soy sauce, salt, or other seasonings, so portion control is advised for those mindful of their sodium intake. Overall, banchan is a flavorful and nutritious addition to meals, reflecting the balance and variety integral to Korean dining traditions.
