Hopefully he'll approve of our rebellious twist on traditional kimchi – we’ve fused the heat of fresh chillies with the sourness of aged sauerkraut for a kimchi that you won’t be able to put down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEat me with... cheese toasties,  use to fire-up stir-fries and then cool down with an icy pint of beer or (and we highly recommend this) straight from the tub!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSUITABLE FOR VEGANS - RAW - ALIVE - UNPASTEURISED\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisclaimer: Vegetables were harmed in the making of this product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e#FERMENTSFIGHTINGFOODWASTE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur hottest ferment is a kimchi-inspired sauerkraut fired up with fresh bird’s eye chillies as well as traditional smoky gochugaru chilli flakes. The heat is balanced by the salty-sour goodness of sauerkraut and subtle sweet-savouriness from carrots and spring onion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe finely shred our kimchi-krauts to make sure you’ve got crunchy full coverage on your sandwich, cracker or pitta bread. Cutting our veg finely ensures maximum flavour distribution in every forkful, and we think it looks kind of pretty too \u003cspan\u003e💚\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSauerkraut literally means ‘sour cabbage’ in German.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTANGY - SALTY - SAVOURY - SOUR\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSalt is key for flavour and safety, selecting beneficial lactic acid bacteria. Fermentation unlocks bold flavours through the production of acids and volatile compounds. The signature sourness comes from lactic acid, with hints of acetic, malic, and propionic acids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKimchi means ‘submerged vegetables’ in Korean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTANGY - SALTY - UMAMI - SPICY\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA staple in Korean cuisine, kimchi is eaten with nearly every meal. Traditional versions use fish-based ingredients, but we opt for plant-based ingredients instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe use wild fermentation, meaning we don’t add pre-defined cultures but rely on naturally occurring bacteria. These microbes transform ordinary cabbage into something extraordinary!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFermented vegetables are even safer than raw produce! Lactic acid bacteria lower the pH, outcompeting harmful microbes and enhancing flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFermented foods might support gut health, though strong scientific studies are still needed. While some companies claim ‘probiotic’ or ‘immune-supporting’ benefits, we simply promote our ferments as a healthy addition to a varied diet by showcasing vegetables in a different light and providing beneficial live microbes in every forkful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow to eat:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredient\u003c\/strong\u003e: Add flavour to soups, noodles, broths, and stews.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide dish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Swap for coleslaw or salads.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondiment\u003c\/strong\u003e: Replace chutneys, gherkins, and sauces.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTopper\u003c\/strong\u003e: Elevate toast, crackers, sandwiches, stir-fries, pasta, hot dogs, and burgers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeaking or bubbling tub?
