? Basic information of kimchi:

"Kimchi" is a fermented food with vegetables as the main raw material and various fruits, seafood, meat and fish sauce as ingredients on the Korean peninsula. The main beneficial factors are lactic acid bacteria, but also rich in vitamins, calcium, phosphorus and other inorganic substances and minerals, as well as more than ten kinds of amino acids needed by the human body.

There are five flavors of kimchi after eating, which can be accompanied with rice and wine. It is easy to digest, has a good appetite and can provide sufficient nutrition. Kimchi represents Korean cooking culture. Because Korea is located in the cold and long winter, there are no fruits and vegetables, so Koreans use salt to pickle vegetables for the winter.

In the16th century, the imported peppers were widely used to pickle pickles. Actually, it is incorrect to call it "kimchi". The real "pickle" refers to a delicious food fermented by lactic acid bacteria, which is popular in southwest China. Its production process is obviously different from that of "Korean kimchi", with the emphasis on the word "bubble". We should distinguish between these two kinds of food.
