Kimchi is lacto-fermented. The vegetables are salted, then starter cultures — lactic acid bacteria — convert the natural sugars into lactic acid. That’s what makes kimchi tangy, and it’s what preserves it without adding vinegar.
We don’t heat-treat the kimchi after fermenting, which means the cultures are still active when the pot reaches you. That’s what “live cultures” on the label means.
Salt draws liquid out of the vegetables to form the brine they ferment in, and it creates the right conditions for lactic acid bacteria to establish themselves. It’s doing more than seasoning.
Contains 1.9g of fibre per 100g. Rated high fibre on the pack.
