List of Jeju dishes

Last updated

Because of its geographic location off the Korean peninsula, the province of Jeju has cuisine mainly centered around seafood. Along with fish, shellfish, and squid, Jeju is known for its oranges. The antioxidant levels within the Jeju oranges hold significantly higher quantities than any other oranges produced and grown within the country because of the soil content on the island. Not only is the popularity just focused on oranges, but many other varieties of citrus fruits such as lemons or limes and mixed breeds of citrus fruits such as clementines. Because of this, much of the island's alcoholic beverages that are produced locally are all typically tied into the citrus production. Many local markets and stores emphasize on the sales of citrus products and it is one of the major exports out of Jeju island. The inhabitants of Jeju also have a higher focus on “healthy foods” or foods that hold higher standards of nutrients considered important for proper health benefits on the human body. It is believed that biologically, the inhabitants of Jeju crave or biologically search out nutrient dense foods because of generations being raised on the readily available foods. The inhabitants of Jeju readily included a form of roe into their diets that were so dense in omega oils that their bodies were able to differentiate the differences in the seasonal changes in the fishes breeding styles. Because of the higher focus on quality and purity of its food sources, its awarded quality of citrus fruits, and its traditional values held surrounding cuisine, Jeju is considered a food tourist attraction for both native Koreans and International travelers alike. This is a list of typical Jeju dishes found in Korean cuisine.
