About Mentaiko
Mentaiko is a flavorful Japanese delicacy made from marinated cod roe. Originally introduced from Korea, where a similar dish called myeongnan-jeot exists, mentaiko has become a beloved ingredient in Japanese cuisine. The roe is typically cured with salt and seasoned with spices, giving it a distinctive rich, slightly spicy taste. Packed with protein, mentaiko offers essential amino acids, making it a nutritious addition to meals. It also contains omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health. However, its high sodium content from the curing process may be a concern for those monitoring their salt intake. Mentaiko is often enjoyed as a topping for rice and pasta, or used to flavor dishes such as sushi. Its versatile, umami-loaded profile makes it a popular choice for elevating simple recipes, blending health benefits with indulgent taste in moderation.
