History & Culture

The Story Behind the Dish

📍 Korean Peninsula📅 Centuries-old; red-chili kimchi from the 18th century🥬 KR

Koreans have fermented vegetables in salt for well over a thousand years to survive long winters. Chili peppers only arrived in Korea around the 17th century, and the red, spicy napa cabbage kimchi known today became widespread in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Every autumn, families still gather for gimjang — the communal making of a winter's worth of kimchi.

⭐ Why It's Famous

Kimchi is served at almost every Korean meal and is a symbol of Korean identity.

💡 Fun Fact

Gimjang, the tradition of making and sharing kimchi, is listed by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage (2013).
