Our Story
"As a child, making and jarring kimchi for our friends and family at the end of every summer was our family tradition. I can still hear my mom yelling for me to pass her
the different ingredients to pour into the large silver bucket that she mixed beautifully by hand onto the crisp, clean, and fresh Napa cabbage.
Historically, making and storing a winter’s worth of kimchi was a survival strategy. Napa Cabbage growth was limited in the winter months, so families would make large batches of kimchi and bury them in the ground as their refrigeration method, helping it last much longer through the process of fermentation.
And while we’re not burying our kimchi today, Tae-gu Kimchi captures this beautiful tradition in every bite and supports gut health through its naturally occurring probiotics.
Let’s continue to ‘Spread the Love of Kimchi, together!”

What is Kimchi?
Kimchi is a traditional Korean side dish of fermented vegetables and a staple food in Korean cuisine. A wide selection of ingredients are used, including the Korean red chilli pepper (gochugaru), scallions, garlic, fish sauce, and salted shrimp..
Kimchi is used for variety of traditional dishes like soups and stews and is mostly eaten as as a side dish with almost every Korean meal.
There are hundreds of different types of kimchi (like radish and cucumber) but,Napa cabbageis the most popular. Traditionally, kimchi was stored in large fermentation vessels, called onggiand stored in the ground to prevent freezing during the winter months and to keep it cool enough to slow down the fermentation process during summer months.
Today, we are benefiting from this historical tradition by supporting our gut health through the naturally occurring probiotics in the most delicious ways!
