Gimbap with Pohang chives~ (It's just the right season now!!!)

 

Are you from Pohang?

Grown in Pohang, Gyeongsangbuk-do, it is smaller than regular spinach with longer roots.

It is said to be firm, reddish in color, and to have excellent sweetness and aroma.

 

So, during this season, I mostly make kimbap with Pohancho.

Spinach is only grown from October to March, so if it's not during that time, it's hard to eat it properly.

 

Today, I bought the first grade of Pohang Elementary School.

I bought five pieces of kimbap, so maybe that's why the kimbap is different than usual.

It is filled with spinach.

 

The texture is also nice~~

 

Eat Pohangcho, which has a perfect efficacy score.

 

 

1. Benefits of spinach

 
1. Vascular health
Potassium helps eliminate waste products and sodium from the body, positively affecting blood circulation.

Therefore, the blood inside the vessels becomes cleaner, which helps regulate arteriosclerosis, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels, providing beneficial effects in preventing vascular diseases.

 
② Eye health
Contains vitamin A and abundant beta-carotene, which is converted into vitamin A in the body, helping to relieve eye fatigue, protect vision, and prevent eye diseases such as cataracts and dry eye syndrome.

 
3. Bone health
Calcium, folic acid, and iron are rich in these nutrients, which help strengthen the bones of growing children and increase bone density, making them effective in preventing osteoporosis.

 
4. Skin health
Antioxidants such as beta-carotene and vitamin E help prevent aging by removing reactive oxygen species that cause aging, assist in collagen production, and prevent melanin pigmentation, thereby maintaining clear and firm skin.

 
5. Anemia prevention
Folic acid and iron are rich in nutrients that help in the production of red blood cells, and iron, which is a component of hemoglobin, plays a role in supplying oxygen to the body, making it highly effective in improving and preventing anemia symptoms.

 

6. Cancer Prevention
The glutathione component is excellent for detoxification and removing carcinogens, while the antioxidant beta-carotene has the effect of inhibiting the development and proliferation of cancer cells.

 
7. Prevention of constipation
Dietary fiber helps activate intestinal movement, and saponin and magnesium components are effective in improving constipation.
