Its origin can be traced back to the first century BC until 7 AD, when preservation of food was a norm for people of Korea. The families back then had to find a way to get stock of food readily available especially during winter season when the invention of refrigerator, was far from being realized. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike what we see now usually as red and spicy cabbage in jars, <em>Kimchi <\/em>was made with radish and not spicy and fermented in pots they called <em>Onggi<\/em> and buried in the ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only the arrival of Europeans, the Portuguese traders who introduced chili to Asians in the 17th century led Koreans to make spicy<em> Kimchi<\/em>. Since then, <em>Kimchi<\/em> has evolved into many variations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cabbage_is_not_the_only_vegetable_you_can_use_in_kimchi_making\"><\/span>Cabbage is not the only vegetable you can use in kimchi making<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Kimchi<\/em> is made with many selections of spices and vegetables.

Pretty long list, huh?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are 2 more prominent kimchi versions according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/list\/beyond-the-cabbage-10-types-of-kimchi\">Brittanica<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Kkakdugi<\/em> is <em>K<\/em>imchi made of diced radish mixed with different spices. It is fermented for around 2 weeks inside a large pot locally called onggi or jangdok. Just like <em>Kimchi,<\/em> <em>Kkakdugi<\/em> is a Korean side dish favorite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Oi Sobagi<\/em> is cucumber <em>Kimchi<\/em>.

Brining is the process of submerging the vegetables in brine solution that only good bacteria (Lactobacillus bacteria or LABs) can survive in. Similar products that undergo lacto-fermentation include yogurt, pickles and <em>Kimchi.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the brining process,  the LABs convert the sugars present in the food into lactic acid, thus creating an acidic environment that  gives Kimchi the distinct flavor and aroma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> To make brine solution for making <em>Kimch<\/em>i, high concentration of salt ranging from 3% to 26 % is needed but for traditional making of cabbage kimchi, 15% brine solution is the standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Want_to_make_your_own_Kimchi_Korean-style\"><\/span>Want to make your own <em>Kimchi<\/em> Korean-style?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a recipe of <em>Kimchi<\/em> according to Sook Jong Rhee,&nbsp;Jang-Eun Lee&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;Cherl-Ho Lee of <em>Department of Food Technology<\/em> of Korea University in Seoul, South Korea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cabbage_Kimchi\"><\/span>Cabbage Kimchi<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ingredients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>100 g Korean cabbage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 g of garlic<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 g of red pepper powder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>0.5 g of ginger<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 g of green onion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>10% brine solution<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Cut the fresh cabbage in half or shredded.

Pack the Kimchi in an earthen jar, <em>Onggi <\/em>or <em>Dok<\/em> and bury it in the ground and press it with a stone in order to submerge them in the juice.

Keeping <em>Kimchi<\/em> in the refrigerator lengthens the shelf life for months (3 months to 12 months) and <em>Kimchi<\/em> will continue to ferment. Just ensure that refrigerator&#8217;s temperature must be at 40\u00b0 F (4\u00b0 C) or lower, as per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/consumers\/consumer-updates\/are-you-storing-food-safely\">FDA<\/a>. Higher temperature increases the rate of spoilage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How to tell if it is <em>Kimchi<\/em> is spoiled? As long as the normal smell of <em>Kimchi<\/em> is there and it doesn&#8217;t have mold, it is safe to consume. When in doubt, do not consume it\u2014better be safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Health_benefits_of_eating_kimchi\"><\/span>Health benefits of eating kimchi<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Should you consume <em>Kimchi<\/em>? Picky eaters, particularly who do not like eating veggies, may find <em>Kimchi<\/em> a very good tasting side dish. That sourness, spiciness and umami just perfectly blend together. But is its favorable taste the only reason why you should get a jar of it? Definitely not!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the ingredients used, kimchi can give you a lot of healthy benefits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Considered a super healthy food, the presence of lactic-acid bacteria in <em>Kimchi<\/em> makes it a probiotic, like yogurt.  It&#8217;s good bacteria help you maintain a healthy digestive system and immune system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the skin conscious, I&#8217;ve got great news for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ever wondered how Koreans have managed to look younger than they actually are? Because <em>Kimchi <\/em>is rich in antioxidants such as carotenoids, flavonoids, vitamins and other phenolic compounds.
