Dongchimi Radish

Dongchimi Radish is the clear, tangy brine from Korean dongchimi — a mild, watery radish kimchi traditionally served as a cooling side or soup garnish in Korean cuisine. It is very low in energy and macronutrients but is prized for its sharp, salty-sour flavor and its role in fermented vegetable preparations. Nutritionally it contributes almost no calories or protein and only trace vitamins and minerals, though it does contain modest amounts of vitamin C and vitamin K; its most notable feature is its sodium content (1.3g per 100g), so a little goes a long way. Because it comes from a fermented preparation, dongchimi brine can carry the tang and some of the fermentation-derived compounds found in pickled vegetables, but it should be used sparingly in low-sodium diets.
