Ahhhh.... KIMCHI
Kimchi is a traditional Korean pickled dish made of vegetables with varied seasonings and is fermented for several months. It is very spicy and sometimes has a sweet taste. The most common form is the spicy cabbage variety. Kimchi is the most common side dish in Korea. It is served with EVERY meal- breakfast, lunch, dinner. Kimchi is also a common ingredient and combined with other ingredients to make dishes such as kimchi stew and kimchi fried rice. It is said to help prevent disease and even cure cancer. The dish produces a bacteria, lactobacillus, during its fermentation that aids in digestion, similar to the bacteria that yogurt contains.
The magazine Health named kimchi in its list of top five "World's Healthiest Foods" for being rich in vitamins, aiding digestion, and even possibly reducing cancer growth.
Just around the corner from where I live lies the Kimchi Field Museum, whose mission is to inform the world about Kimchi. I went to this museum recently. For a mere 3000 won, just over 2 bucks, you can learn all you ever wanted to know about kimchi in less than 10 minutes. The museum was tiny. I really had to strectch my photo ops to make it seem like there was a lot to see. The best part of the museum may have been the tasting room.... as if I have not already eaten enough kimchi in the past three months.
A display of kimchi.
Thank you nice lady for the kimchi.
Kimchi is cool.
Here are fermented foods from around the world. You can see just how Kimchi is similar to several other foods.
MMM.... the tasting room. Every 30 minutes they stock it with fresh kimchi. It's funny, in Korea there really are no food regulations. They can just leave a plate of kimchi out and people are welcome to try at their own will. No one is there to make sure it does not get sneezed on or touched or such.....
Here are some various pots you may want to store your kimchi in.
Hmm.. look at those types of kimchi. So many to choose from.
