About Korean bun

Korean buns, or "Hwangnam-ppang," originate from South Korea and are a popular snack made with soft wheat flour dough, traditionally filled with sweetened red bean paste. These buns embody the essence of Korean baking, often featuring a fluffy texture and mildly sweet flavor. Rich in plant-based protein and fiber from the red bean filling, they offer some nutritional benefits. However, the refined wheat flour and added sugars in many recipes can make them less ideal for those seeking lower-glycemic options. Despite this, Korean buns are a satisfying treat enjoyed on their own or as part of a balanced diet. Some modern variations incorporate alternative fillings like sweet potato or chestnut paste for unique flavors and added nutrients. Ideal for a quick snack or dessert, these buns deliver both cultural richness and a comforting indulgence in every bite.
