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

I only discovered Kimchi recently. Now I always have a jar in my fridge. It helped me loose a lot of weight. I love mixing my kimchi with pickled beets.

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 😆👍

I tried kimchi about 3 years ago and eat it everyday with breakfast. Completely eliminated all my heartburn and indigestion issues.

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!

I'm going to pause this vid, to get mine out of the fridge ; )

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.

So i was experiencing abdominal pain where my liver is located, i used to be a heavy ass drinker, lazy, bad diet. I recently started going to the gym, more often lately, began strength training and the pain is gone, ive included kimchi in my diet, i eat it every day, i eats lots of lean meat such as chicken and fish, i eat rice, veggies, eggs etc. it really does work, i love kimchi and plan on eating it all the time

I learned about Kimchi during a Heritage Festival in Trenton, New Jersey 40 years ago. I love it.

[chrissapp]

I've only recently discovered how delicious kimchi is, thanks to a recent boom in Korean restaurants in this area. I like the versions with more heat. I've been missing out my whole life!

[keithzastrow]

Never even heard of this until a few weeks ago so I immediately bought some from our local grocery store. LOVE it. I probably eat some every other day now. I'm guessing it tastes even better from an authentic Asian market/store.
