Rising Korean Food Tourism to Promote Food Habits Drives the Global Kimchi Market

A classic Korean meal called kimchi is created of fermented vegetables, usually Korean radishes and Napa cabbage, along with a variety of condiments. Though there are vegan and vegetarian options, the main components are seasoned with a combination of salt, garlic, ginger, scallions, chilli peppers, and frequently fish sauce or fermented seafood. Beneficial bacteria proliferate in the combination during fermenting, giving kimchi its unique sour flavour and enhancing its status as a diet high in probiotics. A mainstay of Korean cooking, kimchi is praised for its nutritional value, adaptability as a side dish, and use as an ingredient in many other cuisines.
