FROM WIKIPEDIA: “Kimchi is made of various vegetables and contains a high concentration of dietary fiber, while being low in calories. It also provides up to 80% of the daily required amount of ascorbic acid and carotene.

Kimchi is rich in vitamin A, thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), calcium and iron, and contains a number of lactic acid bacteria. Kimchi has a reputation of being a healthy food. The
There are 187 documented versions of kimchi. Today, I had one that tasted like sauerkraut and looked like beets. A friend of a friend who I worked out with today made it and brought it over the other day. It is said to have living enzymes in it which are said to be good for you. It weirds me out that there could be something living in there going down my gullet. But I’m always open for something new…yikes.

Kim chi is just the Korean version of sauerkraut. Like sauerkraut, it was made to keep sailors (and other poor folks) from getting scurvy and other forms of malnutrition. The main ingredients are cabbage, vinegar, sometimes carrots and other veges that taste good pickled, and Korean pickling spices.
