[Sweet] Yeot : Korean hard taffy

Yeot(Koran hard taffy) is my most favorite sweet in Korea.


I was used to get this from a stationary store nearby my school when I was a elementary school student.
However, It is hard to find in supermarkets nowadays.
You have to go to Korean traditional maketplace to buy this.
Therefore, I always stock Yeot in my refrigerator.

Yeot is made of malted barley and grain.

There are many kinds of Yeot - peanut yeot, pumpkin yeot and so on.
Some areas have special local yeot.

Koreans present Yeot to somebody who is going to take a exam soon.
This means 'I hope you pass the exam.'.
- Yeot is very sticky. Korean words for "pass the exam" and "stick to somewhere" are homonyms.
