Kimchi
Kimchi is a traditional Korean side dish of salted, spiced and fermented vegetables—most commonly napa cabbage—served as a staple accompaniment in Korean cuisine. It is prized for its tangy flavor, crunchy texture and versatility as a condiment, side or ingredient in cooked dishes. namedescription It is very low in energy at 15kcal per 100g, while contributing dietary fiber and small amounts of protein; it also provides vitamin C and vitamin K from the vegetables used. Thanks to fermentation, Kimchi commonly contains live cultures that can support gut microbiota, and its vegetable base supplies fiber and micronutrients, making it a nutrient-dense, flavorful addition to meals.
