Fermented & Pickled
Kimchi in every form, plus the other jars every Korean fridge keeps stocked. Get the fermentation right and everything else gets easier.
Did you know — Korean culture
Kimchi is older than most countries. Koreans have been fermenting vegetables for roughly 2,000 years — but the fiery red version you know today is the new one. Chili peppers didn't arrive until Portuguese traders brought them in the 1500s. Before that, kimchi was pale and salty, no red in sight.
