Jeon 전

Experience the delightful taste and texture of Jeon, a traditional Korean savory pancake that is as versatile as it is delicious. Jeon is made by mixing fresh ingredients with a light batter of powder, eggs, and water, then pan-frying it to a golden, crispy perfection.

High in Protein: Varieties such as seafood & scallion pancake provide a good source of lean protein, which is essential for muscle growth, repair, and overall bodily functions. Protein also helps in maintaining healthy skin, hair, and nails.

Rich in Vitamins and Minerals: Jeon made with vegetables, and or with other protiens offers a range of essential vitamins and minerals. For example, green onions in Pajeon provide vitamins A and C, while kimchi jeon is rich in vitamins A, B, and C, along with probiotics for gut health.

Antioxidants: Many ingredients used in Jeon, such as garlic, ginger, and vegetables, are rich in antioxidants. These help protect the body from oxidative stress and may reduce inflammation.

Fiber-Rich: Varieties like zucchini pancake are packed with fiber from the vegetables, which aids in digestion, helps maintain a healthy weight, and supports overall gut health.

Heart Health: Ingredients such as seafood provide omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart health. Additionally, garlic and onions have cardiovascular benefits.

Boosts Metabolism: The combination of protein and complex carbohydrates in Jeon can help boost metabolism, aiding in weight management and fat loss. Spices like chili used in dipping sauces can further enhance metabolic rate.

Immune Support: The vitamins and minerals found in Jeon, particularly from vegetables and kimchi, play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy immune system. Probiotics in kimchi also support gut health, which is closely linked to immune function.

Bone Health: Ingredients like seafood provide calcium and phosphorus, which are important for maintaining strong bones and overall skeletal health.

Digestive Health: Kimchi pancake is fermented, providing beneficial probiotics that support digestive health and balance gut bacteria. Fiber from vegetables also promotes healthy digestion.
