National Kimchi Day is celebrated in the United States, South Korea, and Argentina.
Kimchi is a traditional Korean side dish made primarily from salted and fermented vegetables, napa cabbage, and Korean radishes, with various seasonings, including chili powder, scallions, garlic, and ginger. The dish dates back to the third to fourth centuries when it was salted vegetables without the spicy ingredients of today.
The introduction of chili peppers from the Americas in the late 16th century transformed kimchi's flavor profile. This addition marked the birth of the red, spicy kimchi known and loved today.
More than just food, kimchi holds profound cultural and symbolic meaning for Koreans. Making kimchi, known as "Kimjang," involves families gathering to prepare large quantities for the winter months. UNESCO recognized Kimjang as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2013.
Kimchi's fermentation process encourages the growth of beneficial bacteria, similar to yogurt. Plus, it features a high concentration of vitamins, minerals, and probiotics.
With the global spread of Korean cuisine, kimchi has gained international recognition. Its unique blend of spice, tang, and crunch has earned it a place on tables worldwide, both as a side dish and a versatile ingredient in various recipes.
