Outside of Kim Jong Un, are there any fat Koreans?

[Red Badger]

Ping!................

[Rio]

I eat the stuff most every day. It’s good.

[animal172]

Yummy. I love me some Kimchi.

[Red Badger]

He’s the only Un...............

[billorites]

Plus, it puts lead in your pencil.

It’s not just kimchi. Kombucha will do the same thing, as will good sauerkraut and fermented dairy products like kefir.

The lesson here is not the Kimchi, but to stick with real food and minimize processed foods.

[Twotone]

From what I’ve been reading lately, any fermented food is good for gut health.

[PGR88]

Who knew there’s a “World Institute of Kimchi?”

Do they give tours?!

[Craftmore]

are you supposed to eat kimchi cold or warmed up? Ive never been sure.

[dynachrome]

High salt content is a drawback. It’s good stuff otherwise.

[brownsfan]

I guess if your meal makes you throw up, you’ll lose weight.

[T-Bird45]

“…. eat kimchi cold or warmed up?”

Easy answer - YES. The gut health benefits work in either case.

[central_va]

Does beer count?

[CaptainPhilFan]

Very cool. Never had kimchee but I appreciate all things naturally fermented.

I’ve tried fermenting my own sauerkraut with no success. Brands like Bubbies and Olive My Pickle offer kraut, pickles, and olives that are wonderfully, naturally fermented, bu t the cost is prohibitive.

As a result of my knowledge, failures, and lack of funds, I don’t typically buy or eat any of these items that are processed with chemicals.

I’ve got a head of cabbage in the fridge waiting for a salt bath and a long rest in a glass jar. Guess it’s time to give it another try.

[Red Badger]

Yes, like fermented corn and rye?...........😉

[TheThirdRuffian]

I strongly suspect any live culture veggies have this same effect.

Pickles and sauerkraut, in particular. Easier to find for Americans, in every supermarket refrigerated section.
