Fresh Rec Stop Recipe of the Month: Kimbap
By Garrett Simpson, NASM-CNC, Community Health Leader
Kimbap is a colorful, well-balanced Korean dish that brings together flavor, texture, and nutrition in every bite. Made with ingredients like seasoned rice, vegetables, eggs, and protein, such as beef or fish, kimbap provides a good balance of carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats for sustained energy. The variety of vegetables adds fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants that support digestion, immunity, and overall wellness. Seaweed, known in Korea as gin, is rich in iodine, minerals, and antioxidants, which help support thyroid function and metabolic health. This versatile recipe can be easily customized with lean proteins and extra vegetables, making kimbap a nourishing and satisfying meal for any time of day.
