Kimchi is Korea's traditional fermented food, and it can be said to be the most Korean food recognized by both Koreans and foreigners.

It is a food that is salted and fermented to enhance storage stability and seasoned with various seasonings.

If you just say 'kimchi' without any other modifiers, you are referring mainly to southern-style cabbage kimchi made by red pepper kimjang cabbage, which is the world's most famous.

There are many types of kimchi, such as bachelor kimchi made by pickling radish, radish kimchi, cucumber kimchi made with cucumber, and white kimchi.

Kimchi is characterized by re-seasoning pickled vegetables, and is a long-term storage food that can be eaten for several years if stored sealed at low temperatures.
