|
|
I took a few minutes to translate some of the common things we look for in food labels. I don't speak Korean but these seemed to jive with the labels well.
I should have taken it with me to E-mart to day when I saw a W350 sports bar. Looked good and convenient for long rides...Complete with transfats. Trash.
carbohydrate 탄수화물
Fat 지방
Protein 단백질
Saturated fat 포화 지
transfat 트랜스 지방
Fiber 섬유 (I'm not positive on this one)
Potassium 칼륨
Calcium 칼슘
Magnesium 마그네슘
Sodium 나트륨 |

I could do with a translation of flavours for packaged foods like ramen. I'd like to be able to distinguish between chicken and eel flavored, for example! |

I'm not terribly gullible but, is there really an eel flavor? Is so, why does Korean food packaging seldom seem to have an image of some of the contents? For example; those little triangle Gimbap things. I love those but I am allergic to shell fish. If they are out of the "red" ones at GS I can't risk another color. |
