KIMCHI the Korean Super-food.

KIMCHI the Korean Super-food.
Traditional Korean side dish made from fermented vegetables. Over 180 varieties of Kimchi
Baechu (Napa Cabbage) Kimchi
Baek (White) Kimchi
Kkakdugi (Cubed Radish Kimchi)
Chonggak (Ponytail Radish) Kimchi
Oi Sobagi (Cucumber Kimchi)

Gat (Mustard Leaf) Kimchi
Pa-kimchi (green onion)
Other ingredients
daikon radish, Korean pear, gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes), scallions, garlic, ginger, onion, fermented shrimp, rice flour
Lacto-fermentation breaks down the sugars into lactic acid which gives it the sour taste. Usually takes 2-7 days for fermentation at room temperature before refrigeration. LAB-lactic acid bacteria
Why doesn’t other pathogenic bacteria grow-likely the salt, red pepper and low PH due to lactic acid.
Strong odor is from sulfur compounds from garlic and ginger but good for liver detox
Spicy soups are often made with Kimchi.
Benefits of Kimchi
1. Obesity and weight loss-low calorie nutrient dense, high fiber, probiotics(lactobacilli)-GI health
2. High in vitamins A, B and C, minerals, amino acids, Vitamin K, calcium and iron and antioxidants
3. High in cruciferous vegetables, capsaicin (red pepper), allicin(garlic) flavonoids and glucosinolates-cancer prevention
4. Improves digestion
5. Anti-aging due to high antioxidants and anti-inflammatory benefits
6. Immune boosting-probiotics and nutrient dense. Approximately, 80 % of the immune system is on the GI tract.
7. Reduces cholesterol-high fiber
8. Anti-inflammatory
9. Prevents yeast infections

I recently started eating kimchi, and I love it 🥬😍 I snack on it regularly when I'm experiencing a craving for something unhealthy. The flavor is satisfying and it fills my belly so I don't over indulge. My stomach feels healthier, I'm not bloated anymore, and my skin has started clearing up. It's truly a great addition to my diet 😆👍

[@user-hi3iy9me4e]

I love kimchi, I just randomly bought it at whole foods months ago and I love it. I just eat it by itself. It is quite costly when the canister says "17 servings" but to me thats only 5-6 servings. I should probably figure out how to make my own. It does seem to help the stomach/digestive system though when I have it.

[@Abigail-qz8fd]

Go to a Korean or Asian grocery store! You can usually get a gallon container of it for less than what you would spend for a quart at a big grocery store

Try and make it. It’s not that hard and you can make it healthier than the stores. Like a lot less sodium. Even just using regular cabbage it’s really good. Also cucumber kimchi is sooooooo good

I wanted to like kimchi soooo bad, because I kept seeing it all over social media and hearing about the benefits and how delicious it is. So I bought some from my local American supermarket and also from Trader Joe’s. I was HORRIFIED! It tasted SO SO BAD! I thought, “What?! There is no way this tastes so bad yet is so popular. Something isn’t right.” Yesterday, I finally went to an authentic Korean restaurant for the first time and tried their kimchi, and let me just say: WOW!! My mind was blown! My life is forever changed! Hahaha…I cannot explain how DELICIOUS it is!! It tasted NOTHING like the terrible knockoff American supermarket kimchi’s I had in the past! I am so so glad I discovered the authentic kimchi from the restaurant, and I am officially a fanatic. I purchased a big to-go container of their kimchi, and I will be back for more!

[@kylestevens6894]

Me too! I got into fermentation when I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis years back. My favorite thing to make and eat is kimchi. I truly believe it has really helped my condition. The best I ever felt was when I was consuming homemade kimchi everyday and I was in remission for 3 years during that time and had never felt better. I got lazy with my diet and went quite a while not making or consuming kimchi or any other fermented foods and I had a flare up. There really is something to this superfood. Of course kimchi alone won’t fix poor food choices but wow it does a lot for a person. Thanks for reading this 😅

Why does kimchi only take 1 week to ferment and sauerkraut takes longer? Surely the longer it ferments, the more health benefits? 😇
