White, red and rice vinegar; these common vinegars are often used in cooking our familiar local dishes. Though they may contain the vitamins that may give us that nutritional supplement, it does not suffice as a health food that is able to enhance our livelihood.
Korea has always been big on reaping the benefits of drinking vinegar. Drinking Kombucha to cool off during the summer or drinking Black Raspberry Vinegar for its various health benefits. All these health drinks are formed from a certain type of process: fermentation. Kimchi, vinegar and gochujang are all fermented products and the Korean Scientists research on them extensively to uncover what makes them popular in this area of health foods.
Another vinegar that Koreans pride themselves on is the Wasong Vinegar which is made from Rock Pine, a herb that is native to Korea. Being rich in antioxidants, the Wasong Vinegar is known to be used as a traditional form of medicine to help reducing certain forms of cancer and is also proven to be able to improve insulin sensitivity.
