Rice is not only the staple food but also the main snack in Korea. A long time age, people usually ate scorched rice in their home. After rice was cooked, the scorched rice was made natually. Making the scorched rice is unusual these days in the house. But if you go to the market, you can find processed scorched rice that is treated as a scack. There is also a unique snack in Korea. What is called “Pung-Tu-Gi”. After rice is heated by very high temperature, it can be made. It’s very popular because people think it is more healthier than sweeties. Overall, rice snack occupied a large percentage of Korean scack.

I don’t like sweety and salty snacks anymore. I hope rice snacks can be more popular ont only in Korea but also in other countries. That would be a good opportunity for us to introduce our traditional snacks, which are healtier than those of other countries.
I love Pung-Tu-gi!!
Everytime I start to nibble on it, I just can’t stop eating it.
I even like Pung-Tu-gi better than pop corn even though they are kind of similar in ingredients and the way of making it.
When I was young, Korea was very poor. At the time, Pung-Tu-Gi was very valuable snak. Many children loved it as me. Because there were not many kind of snacks. These days rice snak is very popular for diet food.
