[0002] As one of the earliest fermented products in the world, kimchi has a long history and is well-known around the world. Kimchi is a traditional biological food produced by fermentation with lactic acid bacteria as the main ingredient. It is rich in lactic acid bacteria, has an elegant flavor and is rich in nutrition. It can not only meet people's taste needs, but also increase appetite, help digestion and promote health.
