Soju

Soju is a clear Korean distilled spirit traditionally made from rice, barley or sweet potatoes and commonly enjoyed neat or in mixed drinks. It is largely ethanol and water with negligible amounts of protein, fat or carbohydrate and provides about 116kcal per 100g. Because soju delivers virtually no vitamins, minerals or fiber, it is best regarded as an alcoholic beverage that contributes mostly empty calories rather than nutrition; drink in moderation and choose lower-alcohol or non-alcoholic alternatives when seeking a healthier option.
