나물 refers to a variety of edible wild greens commonly used in Korean cuisine. These greens are often seasoned and served as side dishes, known as 반찬. They can be prepared in various ways, including boiling, stir-frying, or pickling, and are valued for their nutritional benefits. In Korea, 나물 is typically enjoyed during meals, especially in traditional dishes like 비빔밥, where they add flavor and texture. Popular types of 나물 include 시금치 (spinach), 고사리 (bracken fern), and 취나물 (wild chives). These greens are not only delicious but also contribute to a balanced diet.
