- Kimchi is the representative fermented food of Korea.
- Kimchi, Korea's representative food, is an excellent fermented food that is recognized worldwide. Unlike salted vegetables that are common in many countries around the world, Kimchi is fermented by mixing it with red pepper powder, garlic, ginger, green onion, and a seasoning made from salted fish and starch paste. Then, the Kimchi is placed in a jar, buried in the ground, and lactic acid bacteria begin to actively grow and ferment at a constant temperature. Only after going through this fermentation process does Kimchi develop its own deep flavor, and refreshing and savory taste.
