What is Kimchi?
Kimchi is the superfood of Korean cuisine and is served with every meal. This tasty,
spicy and healthy dish of fermented vegetables is low in calories and fat while being high in
fiber and nutrition. Kimchi is a good source of vitamin A and C, carotene thiamine (B1),
riboflavin (B2), calcium, and iron and contains a number of "healthy bacteria" called
lactobacilli found in fermented foods such a yogurt. Health magazine lists it as one of the
top five "World's Healthiest Foods" for being rich in vitamins and minerals, aiding digestion,
preventing yeast infections, and even possibly reducing cancer growth.
There are hundreds of varieties of kimchi, which differ by main ingredients, regions or
seasons. The most familiar forms are usually made of napa cabbage, radish or cucumber.
Common seasoning includes garlic, ginger, chopped radish, salt, and red chili pepper
flakes - which is the main ingredient for spice and source of heat.
All of our kimchi is homemade in-house. Preserving the 3,000-year-old method of making
kimchi, we use temperature controlled refrigerators to allow for slow and natural
fermentation. Similar to fine winemaking, the process of preparing perfectly ripe kimchi
should not be hurried or manufactured. Today, kimchi not only complements traditional
Korean meals, but also enhances the flavor and adds a special kick to everything from
soups to topping on burgers, and now tacos. Join the kimchi revolution.
