This jar holds 9.5 oz (270 g) of small pills, cheonggukjang-hwan, made with 96% black soybean cheonggukjang plus Korean plum concentrate and kelp, for a nutty, savory taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do you eat cheonggukjang pills?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEat them with plain water, barley tea or yogurt, or chew about 70 to 100 pills at a time, up to three times a day, as the label suggests. One serving on the US label is 10 g (0.35 oz). Keep the jar tightly closed in a cool place away from direct sunlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCheonggukjang vs natto: what's the difference?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheonggukjang and natto are both soybeans fermented for a short time. Natto is Japanese and is usually eaten fresh and sticky over rice. Cheonggukjang is Korean, has an earthier aroma, and is traditionally mashed into stew. These pills turn black bean cheonggukjang into a dry, ready-to-eat form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCheonggukjang vs doenjang: what's the difference?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheonggukjang ferments for only a few days and is used without long aging. Doenjang is made from dried meju blocks that are brined and aged for months into a salty soybean paste. This jar is cheonggukjang, not doenjang: its ingredients are soybean, kelp and plum concentrate, with no added salt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere is it made, and how is it shipped?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a Product of Korea, made in Sancheong, Gyeongsangnam-do, by Sancheong Functional Soybean Farming Cooperative from Korean-grown ingredients.
