Bap, a staple of Korean cuisine, refers to cooked rice that is often the foundation of many meals. Typically made from white or brown rice, the grains are rinsed and steamed, resulting in a fluffy, slightly sticky texture. Brown rice bap is particularly nutritious, offering higher fiber content, vitamins, and minerals compared to its white rice counterpart. It is naturally gluten-free and low in fat, making it a great option for balanced eating. However, white rice bap, while energy-packed, has fewer nutrients due to the refining process and may lead to blood sugar spikes if consumed in excess. Bap often serves as the canvas for a variety of nutrient-rich toppings like vegetables, fermented foods, and proteins in dishes like bibimbap or as an accompaniment to soups and grilled meats. Versatile and comforting, bap remains a cornerstone of Korea’s health-conscious yet flavorful culinary tradition.
