Q. Is Sikhye a natural digestive aid?

A.

Sikhye, made from malted barley (maega), actually aids digestion because it contains 'maega,' an ingredient used as a digestive aid in Traditional Korean Medicine.

📝 Detailed Answer

식혜에 들어가는 엿기름(맥아)은 한방 소화제의 주원료입니다. 곡식(밀가루, 쌀)을 소화시키는 데 탁월합니다.

  • 효능: 전분 분해 효소 풍부
  • 주의: 당분이 많아 당뇨 환자는 조심

식후 달콤한 식혜 한 잔은 소화를 돕는 훌륭한 디저트입니다.
