Kimchi

[marssel]

So I know this will possibly make me look a little stupid and I know it’s in the hard-core forum but that’s where all the hard-core guys are everybody’s been talking about this and Kiefer and I didn’t know if opinions were good or bad of store-bought so this is what I’m looking at getting does this seem like a good route to y’all or is this a generic way to go. I’m gonna gag a lil down everyday I’m assuming I won’t like the taste. Thanks for advice and patience.

Gag down? Quality kimchi is fucking delicious! Go to an Asian market near you and get some fresh good stuff.

I fucking love kimchi! Obviously great for digestion but also a great late night snack when you’re cutting. Mix with some Wickles .

Kimchi is good stuff. I don’t care for the taste either but it’s a good fermented food for a nutritious diet. Make sure to get live cultures (which this brand is so that’s good to go)

i have been getting the organic kimchi that Costco has been selling for some time.

Love Kimchi! Publix has a organic, spicy kind as well that is delish!

Thanks for all the replies I’m running to the store in a bit we’ll see. I’ll be thrilled if I like the taste, I hate sauerkraut and I smelled it in South Korea and passed on it but after reading several threads here I’m convinced it’s a good add to my diet. Will it upset your stomach if you eat it on empty or does it do that to anyone I guess is better way to ask?

@marssel ....I like kimchee. Tasty. Sometimes I'll make my own. Easier to buy it.
There are many types of kimchee. If it your first go around, may I suggest you try the Won Bok(Napa cabbage)kimchee.
My usual kimchee vegetable that I purchase.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I do, along with others.

I absolutely love it but there’s no Asian markets around me. Definitely the best place to go, a huge jar and reasonably priced. Sometimes I’ll se a small jar at grocery but it’s typically outrageously priced

I make my own.

I alter this recipe slightly:

Mother-in-Law's Signature Kimchi from 'The Kimchi Cookbook'

Napa cabbage is the backbone to many a kimchi recipe, so it seems natural to begin a kimchi-making adventure with a leafy ferment. In Lauryn Chun's The Kimchi Cookbook, she presents a recipe for the house pickle from her company, Mother-in-Law's Kimchi. As she writes in the intro to the recipe...

I usually also have naturally fermented sauerkraut in the frig as a trade off. I tend to think the wider the range of nutrition the better long term results one gets.

I have a large asian market i go to. They have a large selection of different kinds of kimchi. And a lot remind me of UGL's. It looks like some one made them up in their bath tub. And since inflation hit it ain't so cheap any more.

It's good once in awhile; but if you eat it everyday, the smell starts to come out of your pores and you smell like a Korean cab driver.

Speaking of kimchi. Just crushed this post workout meal at First Watch. Seasonal menu “Sunny Seol Hash” - eggs, pork, potatoes and kimchi. Fucking fire.

 

[marssel]

Well I picked up the ginger, red chili kimchi gonna give it a go tonight with sirloin and salad, I guess as a side dish

Going to try this. I usually just get it from Costco.

If it's too spicy maybe... I'd imagine the best way to take it is like a probiotic. Empty stomach, first thing in the morning wait a while to eat otherwise stomach acid will have a longer chance to kill the live cultures.

Every morning I've been eating 2 spoonfuls of saurkraut and washing it down with a couple gulps of kefir.. Followed by coffee but nothing solid.

I could be wrong but seems to make sense to me.

I love kimchi and especially just sauerkraut. It's so good for you and my digestion is so much better when I throw some sauerkraut in 2-4 meals. Also if you cutting it's a great way to bulk up meals and add a ton of gut benefits.
