## In short

Garu Seonsaeng Heukseon (Garuseonsaeng Seoritae Seoritae Garuseonsaeng Seoritae Seoritae) is a Korean meal-replacement grain powder made with 100% domestic black soybeans such as seoritae and yakkong, plus black rice, black sesame, brewer's yeast, almonds and green tea. Three heaping spoons in 200ml of water became a quick breakfast on the way to work, and Garu Seonsaeng Heukseon dissolved without clumps even in cold water or cold milk, tasting much nuttier with milk. For anyone whose meals are irregular, Heukseon is a realistic breakfast in a cup.

Watching clumps of hair fall out while brushing in front of the mirror really makes my heart sink.

*It's so hard to find something healthy that also tastes good, ugh*

The scalp clinic told me it was just resting-phase hair falling out all at once, but I already knew the real cause wasn't outside — it was inside.

## Why skipping breakfast still worried me

![Image of the black food grain powder packaging](https://img.superchart.com/images/garuseonsaeng-heukseon-black-food-shake/garuseonsaeng-heukseon-black-food-shake-02-4c9jv-900.webp)
*Am I the only one who felt a 'hermit sage' vibe from this?*

Even while getting regular scalp care, part of me stayed uneasy, because I knew what really needed fixing wasn't my scalp — it was my eating habits.

*No additives means the whole family can eat it, which is great*

How often I ate, and what and how much I ate, was all over the place.

*I like it strong so I added a bit more*

Especially when I'm stressed, my appetite drops off completely, so there were stretches where I replaced meals with just water or drinks.

*Good that it's a foil pouch that blocks light and seals tightly with a zipper*

Once my stomach got used to that, chewed food started taking longer to digest. I realized I'd been ignoring my body's signals for way too long — and once I admitted that, I could finally see what I needed to do.

## Two rules I set for my morning meal

![Garuseonsaeng Seoritae grain powder bag](https://img.superchart.com/images/garuseonsaeng-heukseon-black-food-shake/garuseonsaeng-heukseon-black-food-shake-06-t5clz-1200.webp)
*Garuseonsaeng Seoritae!*

Organizing doesn't stop at physical space. Clearing out things at home and tidying a single drawer is ultimately about 'setting a standard.' I decided to apply that same standard to my body.

![The grain powder's color, which isn't actually black](https://img.superchart.com/images/garuseonsaeng-heukseon-black-food-shake/garuseonsaeng-heukseon-black-food-shake-07-1o9ka-900.webp)
*Was expecting black — was that just my assumption? Why was what I ate before actually black??*

Instead of aiming to eat perfectly,

- Don't skip any of the three meals
- Even if the portion is small, cover the essential nutrients

![Fine, slightly greenish grain powder particles](https://img.superchart.com/images/garuseonsaeng-heukseon-black-food-shake/garuseonsaeng-heukseon-black-food-shake-08-dxn5u-900.webp)
*Fine particles with a slight green tint*

Those were the only two rules I set. A standard you can actually keep lasts much longer than a grand resolution.

## Black soybeans, black sesame, brewer's yeast: why this black food mix?

*About three heaping spoons with 200ml of water*

Looking up the ingredients most often mentioned as good for hair and scalp, they all pointed to similar things.

![Adding honey to the grain powder drink](https://img.superchart.com/images/garuseonsaeng-heukseon-black-food-shake/garuseonsaeng-heukseon-black-food-shake-10-17vtr-900.webp)
*When I crave something sweet in the morning, extra honey too*

Black food like black soybeans and black sesame, and brewer's yeast.

*Having a mixer ball helps it blend even better haha*

While looking for a grain powder that had all of these, I came across Garuseonsaeng Seoritae Seoritae.

*A simple breakfast idea considering protein, carbs, and vitamins*

Even the packaging is black, so you can intuitively tell what's inside.

## Garu Seonsaeng Heukseon: taste and ingredients after mixing a cup

When I opened the bag, the powder turned out to be greenish, unlike what I expected. Then I remembered that the inside of a black soybean isn't actually black — it's closer to green.

*A nutritious meal moment during bumper-to-bumper traffic haha*

It's a grain blend of 100% domestic black soybeans and yakkong beans, plus black rice, black sesame, brewer's yeast, almonds, and green tea. Mixed with water it tasted clean and mild; mixed with milk, soy milk, or almond milk, it was much nuttier and deeper.

![Drinking the grain powder as a snack during work](https://img.superchart.com/images/garuseonsaeng-heukseon-black-food-shake/garuseonsaeng-heukseon-black-food-shake-15-zh3vf-900.webp)
*That hungry 11am while working, ugh — grain powder to the rescue*

I also liked that there's no sugar or synthetic additives — just the sugars naturally present in the raw ingredients. With 10.4g of protein per cup, it felt like a fine option for breakfast or a post-workout boost.

![The grain powder drink mixed smoothly with no clumps](https://img.superchart.com/images/garuseonsaeng-heukseon-black-food-shake/garuseonsaeng-heukseon-black-food-shake-16-1y2p0-900.webp)
*Mixes up nicely~*

For anyone urgently looking for a meal replacement, I thought this level of composition in a grain powder isn't easy to find. I scooped in one, two, three heaping spoons, added a spoon of honey, and shook it lightly. Maybe thanks to Garuseonsaeng Seoritae's particular processing method, it mixed smoothly with no clumping even in cold water or cold milk.

## Heukseon in a real morning commute routine

Being able to drink this with one hand while driving on my commute was the most realistic option for my lifestyle. Hair loss is just a result — what actually needs managing is my daily rhythm.

> Aren't you tidying up your space while neglecting your body? How did you handle your first meal this morning?
