Kimchi（キムチ）

What kind of food is kimchi??

Kimchi (Korean: 김치) is a traditional pickle produced on the Korean Peninsula. The main ingredients are vegetables such as Chinese cabbage, salt, chili pepper, salted seafood, and garlic.

Traditionally, kimchi was made by pickling vegetables in salt as a preserved food for the winter. Since then, it has changed to include spices such as garlic, pepper, and chili pepper. Nowadays, the one made from ancient times is called Baekkimchi (white kimchi), and the one mixed with chili pepper is classified as kimchi.

Kimchi has an attractive flavor that combines the stimulation of chili peppers, the sweetness of vegetables, the sourness caused by lactic acid fermentation, and the saltiness.

In Japan, there are two types of kimchi: Chinese cabbage kimchi and kimchi made from other vegetables.

Many Japanese people do not like kimchi that is too sour, so the fermentation period is set shorter than Korean kimchi to reduce the acidity. In addition, soy sauce is added in most cases to create a taste that suits Japanese tastes.

Kimchi is rich in nutrients such as vitamin C, capsaicin, and lactic acid bacteria. By eating kimchi, you can expect health and beauty benefits such as improving immunity, beautifying your skin, and relieving constipation. However, it is very salty, so don’t eat too much.
