History, tradition and origin
Kimchi is vegetables, most often cabbage, salted and fermented with chili, garlic and seafood. Families and neighbours traditionally made a winter's supply together in late autumn, a custom recognised by UNESCO. Well-aged kimchi goes into stews and pancakes. Bubbling stews served in earthenware pots, and chicken soup with ginseng eaten on the hottest days, are everyday Korean meals.
Food economy and industry
Koreans eat kimchi with almost every meal, and factory-made kimchi has largely replaced home production in cities. A poor cabbage harvest quickly becomes national news as prices jump. Ginseng is a high-value crop that takes four to six years to grow, and Korea is one of its main producers.
