Kimchi | White - Traditional Fermented Napa Cabbage (Non Spicy) – Raw - Real - Natural - No Added Vinegar & No Preservatives - Bombucha – 150gm

White Kimchi (Baek Kimchi) is a non-spicy variant of traditional spicy kimchi. It has a mild pickled flavour and is refreshing and crunchy. Baek Kimchi is slightly salty with a fruity flavor and a tantalising zing that lingers on your pallet. The key ingredient is pear, which when blended with pine nuts, dried jujubes and chestnuts, adds a subtle luxurious flavor to the brine. It is packed with antioxidants, iron, calcium and magnesium. The unique lacto fermentation process enhances the flavors and makes it abundant in probiotics. The absence of chilies makes it popular amongst kids and spice-cautious people.

FLAVOUR PROFILE

Taste: The main flavor notes you’ll find in white kimchi include sour, salty, sweet and umami. Being a fermented dish, its most prominent flavor is typically sour. Lactic acid produced by bacteria during fermentation creates a tangy, pungent flavor. It is slightly astringent due to the acid formed during fermentation. Kimchi is a perfect example of an acquired taste because of its overpowering smell and its pickled taste.

Texture and mouthfeel: Traditional kimchi made with Chinese cabbage tastes equally soft and crunchy. Kimchi becomes more compact and softer as fermentation progresses.

Smell: Kimchi smells just as intense as it tastes. Garlic produces a lot of Sulphur compounds, which gives kimchi its peculiar pungent smell. As the vegetables ferment, they release gases which have a strong smell. The smell of authentic well fermented kimchi can be off-putting for some, but to derive the probiotic benefit of fermentation the smell has to be appreciated because the smell is linked to the flavor of the kimchi.
