About Myeongnanjeot

Myeongnanjeot is a traditional Korean fermented dish made from pollock roe, salt, and often chili pepper for added flavor. As a staple in Korean cuisine, it is commonly enjoyed as a side dish, incorporated into rice dishes, or used as a seasoning for soups and stews. The fermentation process enhances its rich, tangy flavor while preserving the roe. Nutritionally, Myeongnanjeot is a source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins such as B12. However, it is also high in sodium due to the substantial use of salt in fermentation, which may not be suitable for individuals on low-sodium diets. The dish is best consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet, and its bold taste makes it a small yet impactful component of meals.
