My kids LOVE kimchi so much ! Before going zerowaste, I always bought it at the supermarket , but it was in plastic containers.I have never seen plastic free kimchi here, and most store-bought kimchi contain MSG and other chemical ingredients.
After going zerowaste life, I tried to make kimchi at home. It was easier than I thought. That was a lot more delicious than I thought it would be. I love homemade kimchi so much now ! I will not buy store selling kimchi anymore.
