Jangdokdae
In Korean culture, ''jangdokdae'' () or ''jangttokttae'' is an outside space, most frequently a terrace, used to store or ferment food. Foods such as kimchi, soybeans, grains, and bean and red pepper paste, are placed in '' jangdok'' (or ''onggi'') earthenware jars which are then placed on the ''jangdokdae''. ''Jangdok'' () means "crock" (for condiments and soy sauce) and ''dae'' () means "place" or "support", so ''jangdokdae'' () means "place for jangdok(s)". The jars are called ''hangari'' () or ''onggi'' (). This place is commonly found directly near traditional Korean houses, more precisely near the kitchen. Sunshine and ventilation are key aspects in the location choice, so that foods can be preserved and kept fresh. Well-preserved ingredients may stay for several years in the jars. The similar terraces of royal palaces were called ''yeomgo'' () and were supervised by a court lady, called ''janggo mama'' (). See also * Korean cuisine :* Gochujang :* Teojusin * Kor ...

Staple Food
A staple food, food staple, or simply staple, is a food that is eaten often and in such quantities that it constitutes a dominant portion of a standard diet for an individual or a population group, supplying a large fraction of energy needs and generally forming a significant proportion of the intake of other nutrients as well. For humans, a staple food of a specific society may be eaten as often as every day or every meal, and most people live on a diet based on just a small variety of food staples. Specific staples vary from place to place, but typically are inexpensive or readily available foods that supply one or more of the macronutrients and micronutrients needed for survival and health: carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals, and vitamins. Typical examples include grains (cereals and legumes), seeds, nuts and root vegetables (tubers and roots). Among them, cereals (rice, wheat, oat, maize, etc.), legumes ( lentils and beans) and tubers (e.g. potato, taro ...
