건강을 담은 한국의 전통주 '막걸리'
Makgeolli, the country's oldest liquor, has long been a beloved drink here in Korea.
It turns out that it's not just an alcoholic beverage; it is packed with health benefits, too.
Park Se-young has the details.
Makgeolli is a milky white traditional Korean liquor with a strong scent and a slight fizz.
The drink is made from rice or wheat mixed with nuruk, a Korean fermentation starter.
"Molds do not form very well with machines, so the process requires lots of handiwork. This is the skillful way to make makgeolli."
Makgeolli is well known for its rich content of healthy lactobacillus bacteria, which are formed during the fermentation process.
But it turns out the drink could also contribute to the prevention of hypertension and diabetes, and contains substances with potential anti-cancer effects.
"Beta-sitosterol is a natural component in many grains and it's been found to inhibit the growth of stomach cancer."
Makgeolli has long been considered a more healthful type of alcohol in Korean culture, but as with all forms of alcoholic beverages, experts say moderate consumption is the key to ensuring you reap the health benefits -- and not the headaches.
