Kimchi is hands down the best probiotic food out there. In the last few decades, there has been an increasing interest in probiotic foods.
Though our ancestor used fermentation techniques for centuries to preserve their food, somewhere in history we gave up on them. probably when fridge and freezer came to the world.
Though our ancestors used fermentation mainly to preserve their food, doing so they were actually protecting their health too. Thanks to recent studies we are learning more and more about our microbiome and the importance of a balanced gut flora to protect our body from many of our modern diseases and ailments, including indigestion, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and chronic inflammation, diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
And the best part, fermented foods and drinks are not only delicious and protecting your health, they are so easy to make and it's fun too.

That moment when you realize cooking actually takes skill, instead of using things like the microwave and ovens. This makes me think twice about thinking cooking is a simple task
Lol. I haven't had a microwave in over 5 or 6 years. Thanks for stopping by ;)

Oh I will definitely try this! I have made sauerkraut before, but never kimchi. Do you think I can use raw coconut sugar?
Thanks for sharing Amy! Also, love the music choice for the video!!

Thanks. In Belgium, we used to make sauerkraut too be these days I prefer the spicy addition of kimchi. Both are so good for you. I use either raw palm or raw sugar cane sugar as that is what they grow here. So you should be fine with coconut sugar.
I would like to try it, it looks delicious
Thanks. Give it a go. It's super easy and so good for you.
To be honest, kimchi is a little too much for me. I'll stick to my homemade sauerkraut:)
Both are so good. Have you ever tried making your own kimchi? Mine is never too spicy but I love the addition of the spices, carrots and spring onions to the cabbage.
I probably should try making my own. Storebought was always way too spicy.
Give it a go. If you only add one tbsp Korean chili powder it's not spicy at all. Enjoy ;)
Will do:))
Great recipe :)(
Thanks :)
