The concept of yin and yang or Eumyangohaeng and the five elements of nature are quite important in Korean cuisine. A person's health is optimal only when all the elements are in balance.

A traditional Korean meal comprises of dishes or garnishes that consist of five colors namely green, red, yellow, white and black.
