About Korean acorn jelly

Korean Acorn Jelly, or "dotorimuk," is a traditional dish made from acorn starch. This translucent, gelatinous food has been enjoyed for centuries in Korean cuisine, often served as a chilled side dish or in salads. Its mild, nutty flavor pairs well with soy sauce, garlic, sesame oil, and various vegetables. Low in calories and fat, acorn jelly is a light, nutritious option, making it popular among those seeking a healthy diet. It's naturally gluten-free and rich in dietary fiber, which supports digestion. However, it is not particularly high in protein or other essential nutrients, so it’s best enjoyed as part of a balanced meal. Acorn starch is processed to remove bitter tannins naturally found in raw acorns, ensuring the jelly is safe and palatable. A quintessential Korean comfort food, dotorimuk offers a unique blend of tradition, texture, and health-conscious simplicity.
