What is kimchi made of?
Kimchi is a traditional Korean side dish made from salted and fermented vegetables. It is most typically made with cabbage, radish, garlic, onion and other seasonings and spices like ginger and chili flakes or powder. Not only is kimchi delicious and flavorful, it’s full of good bacteria from the fermentation process as well as vitamins and antioxidants. There are 100’s of different varieties of kimchi made with different vegetables and spices for a wide range of tastes and flavors.
Is kimchi keto friendly?
There are many varieties of kimchi made with different ingredients so not all types are keto friendly. You will need to read the labels to check for total carbs and make sure it falls in line with your dietary needs. A lot of brands use sugar in the fermentation process, so be on the lookout for any added sugars which will increase the net carb amounts. Here are a few of our favorite kimchi brands: Wildbrine Korean Kimchi (keto friendly) – This is a very tasty mix that’s a bit on the spicy side. Firefly Kitchens Kimchi (keto friendly) – A mild version that’s also vegan because it doesn’t use any fish sauce.
