cool tip !
In Korea, we have "mi yeok gook"
in the birthday morning.
Mi yeok (dried seaweed) has iodine and calcium, which helps to stop bleeding and uterine
contraction after labor a child. So it has been a tradition for nursing mother
to have a lot of "mi yeok gook". What a clever idea!!!
Also, by eating it, think about our mother and thank her for all the hard work
she has been put on to us!!!
