Want a living, spicy shot to help you wake up in the morning? Want an easy way to make the tastiest marinades, stir-fries or ramens?! Want to make next level and alive Bloody Mary's?
Well you're in the right place friend. Kimchi juice is the living, super concentrated, flavour-packed brine that's leftover from kimchi production.
We've got two varitieties to choose from: the juice from our medium-hot, kimchi-style kraut Katz Kimchi-Kraut and our mild-medium, traditional Crafty Kimchi. So you can add a splash of flavour and live cultures to whatever it is you're eating.
Add me to noodle dishes, marinades, pasta sauces, Bloody Mary's OR just shot me (if you dare!)

Our mild-medium juice packs a milder, umami punch while our medium-hot juice leans into spice and sourness.
Kimchi means ‘submerged vegetables’ in Korean.
TANGY - SALTY - UMAMI - SPICY
A staple in Korean cuisine, kimchi is eaten with nearly every meal. Traditional versions use fish-based ingredients, but we opt for aged red miso for a vegan umami boost.
We 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!
Fermented vegetables are even safer than raw produce! Lactic acid bacteria lower the pH, outcompeting harmful microbes and enhancing flavour.
Fermented 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 mouthful.
How to eat:
Ingredient: Add flavour to soups, noodles, broths, and stews.
Starter: Use to kickstart fermentation of experimental ferments!
Marinade: Use to infuse heaps of flavour to fish, meat, tofu and more.
Drink: Have as a living pick-me-up-shot or make killer Bloody Mary's.
Leaking or bubbling bottles? Don’t worry! This means your ferment is alive and active. Wipe up any leaks and enjoy as usual.
Since launching The Crafty Pickle Co. in 2019, we’ve partnered with the incredible charity FareShare, donating a percentage of every sale to support their work and using their ‘surplus-surplus’ (imperfect or excess food) in our production. To date, we’ve rescued the equivalent of over 71,000 carrots from waste! 🥕
Our sauerkrauts and kimchis are for... Foodies, adventurous eaters, pickle lovers, gut-health pioneers, vegans - basically, YOU!
Our kimchi juices are for those looking for an easy way to add live cultures and an extra flavour bomb to cooking!
Passionate about flavour and education, our team (including a Registered Nutritionist) knows how to make ferments that taste great and do good. Want to try fermentation at home? Check out our workshops and blog for inspiration, recipes, and gut health tips!
