Rejuvenative Foods, the great people who brought us truly raw nut butters, have launched a new line of raw/organic Kim-Chi. At its base this traditional Korean fermented food has a mixture of cabbage, carrots, ginger, onions and sea salt, and with the combination of spices an endless variety of concoctions can be created.
Wikipedia: Kimchi, also known as gimchi or kimchee is a traditional Korean dish of fermented chile peppers and vegetables, usually based on cabbage. The Korean word seems to originally have meant "steeped (or submerged) vegetable". One of the healthiest foods in the world. Kimchi has lots of vitamins and antioxidants, but kimchi also has “healthy bacteria called lactobacilli, found in fermented foods like kimchi and yogurt. This good bacteria helps with digestion, plus it seems to help stop and even prevent yeast infections, according to a recent study. And more good news: Some studies show fermented cabbage has compounds that may prevent the growth of cancer.”
