The fermentation process enhances its complexity, making it a robust, umami-rich cornerstone of Korean dining.

A milder version of traditional Korean kimchi, White Kimchi is perfect for those who prefer a less spicy flavor. Made without chili peppers, it features hand-prepared Napa cabbage seasoned with garlic, ginger, and Asian pears, resulting in a refreshing and crisp finish. The flavor profile is subtly tangy with a sweet undertone, highlighting the natural tastes of its ingredients.
