Kim Chi


Kim Chi is one of the most popular Korean foods. Kim Chi is not just food, and It is part of Koran culture. It is a kind of vegetable we eat with almost every Korean dish. Furthermore, the Korean Ministry of Culture and Tourism appointed Kim Chi is one of the ten representative things in Korea. Nowadays, people can find the Kim chi very easily if they go to any Korean restaurant. I also really love this food, and I would say that Kim Chi is the best and basic food of Korea. There are two important reasons why Kim Chi is the best.
Many people know that the fermented food is very healthy, and Kim Chi also one of them. Many Korean people believe that Kim Chi can help diet. Kim Chi contains capsaicin which heats our body, and it helps fat burning. In addition, the main ingredient of Kim Chi is Napa cabbage, so people can enjoy this food with very low calories. Therefore, Kim Chi is sensationally popular in Korea especially young women.
             Another reason is great taste of Kim Chi. I believe that it is not familiar to western people, and it could be very spicy and salty. I would say that it is only the first time that people who has Kim Chi. Korean usually do not eat only Kim Chi. We eat the Kim Chi with many foods such as rice, pork meet, tofu, and etc. in addition, we have a lot of ways to cook with Kim Chi, and it make their taste better. I strongly believe that everyone can like Kim Chi if they know how to enjoy this food.
