There are specific foods that remind you of certain countries and if
you were asked what food is South Korea known for?

If you said kimchi, give yourself a pat on the back.
What is Kimchi?
Think of a very spicy (and hot) shredded cabbage or sauerkraut.

Yes, we eat a lot of sauerkraut in the U.S. but the south Koreans
eat plenty of Kimchi.

And what’s so special about sauerkraut (or Kimchi)?
Well, researchers have been recommending you eat (and drink)
plenty of fermented foods if you want to improve your “gut” health.
and if you’re a fan and enjoy eating sauerkraut, fermented veggies
or drinking kefir, please continue to do so.
Why?
New research says that you can lower your risk of heart disease by 35%.

That’s right, 35% and eating more of these foods create short-chain fatty acids
in your gut that lower blood pressure and cholesterol, which can keep your
heart in tip-top shape.

So, if you’ve been avoiding these types of foods because of the salt content
or some other reason, then you may want to head online to YouTube and
type homemade recipe for sauerkraut, kimchi, sauerkraut without salt
or kefir in the search bar. Doing this allows you to know exactly what
ingredients are in the recipe and saves you money.
