Biona Biologische Kimchi, 350g

Nice addition on your plate

Strong punchy flavour, the tastiest Kimchi about. Once tried you'll be back for more. Does wonders for gut health too.

For some time, I developed a love of kimchi and started home making batches of it, until I realised that the vitamin K in cabbage messes with a medication that I need to take. I can eat some, but certainly not nearly every day, as I was. I now normally buy the odd jar from a different brand, but as that wasn't in stock, I thought I would try this one. Certainly it has a taste of kimchi about it, but there is also a slightly sweet taste to it that I can't identify, like corn syrup or something. I will finish the jar (it isn't too disgusting), but certainly I won't be buying any more of this one. It seems odd to me that with a food that has existed for thousands of years, somebody suddenly comes up with a different recipe. I realise that foods do evolve, but I enjoy the traditional version, not this one.

Very nice and surprisingly spicy but it's too vinegary to be authentic. Also the cabbage is shredded into tiny pieces rather than whole like in japenese kimchi.

I wasn't sure what to expect because I'd never had it before, it makes surprisingly tasty sandwiches and salads.
