Did you know?
- Many traditional Korean fermented pastes, like 고추장 (gochujang), may contain wheat as a thickener, making the search for 글루텐 프리 options challenging even in traditional food.
- In many Korean dietary contexts, people may use the term 무글루텐 (mu-gluten), where the prefix 무 (mu) means 'none' or 'without', making it a hybrid of a Hanja-based prefix and an English loanword.
- If you are dining at a traditional restaurant, asking for 글루텐 프리 might result in a blank stare, as the concept is still primarily associated with Western-style diets in Korea.
