Korea, which used rice, barley, red beans, buckwheat, and other grains as staple foods, has developed a variety of foods using grains. In particular, porridge and noodles made by mixing grains into granules or powder and mixing them with water are still loved as special foods. Meanwhile, patbingsu, a summer delicacy, is a representative Korean snack enjoyed by people of all ages.
