(2 Pack) Half Gallon (7 lbs.) Spicy Napa Cabbage Kimchi [Vegan, Gluten Free, Non-GMO, Probiotic] by Choi's Kimchi Co. Made in USA.

First of all let me start by saying, I spent 2 years in South Korea while stationed there for the Army. I know what kimchi is supposed to taste like. I know what good, and bad, kimchi is. That said, I have to say that this is probably the absolutely BEST tasting kimchi I have found in the states. Restaurants, canned, and glass-fermented store bought stuff was pretty decent, but not nearly as good as this one. And it came in a bag from Amazon. I was just as surprised as you may be doubtful. But trust me on this, this was really, really good. I found myself constantly throughout the day just grabbing this out of the fridge with a fork in hand just for a couple more mouthfuls. It really is awesome! The health benefits of kimchi is just icing on the cake. There is almost no reason you shouldn't be adding this into your healthy eating regimen. A, B, C, K...probiotics it is there. I know that perhaps it is an acquired taste, and I would agree with you. It took me a couple times trying it at first...but once you have some good kimchi it is hard to beat. Give it a shot! It comes perfectly packaged to survive the trip, tastes like it is fresh out of the vase and fridge, this stuff rocks. Thanks CHOI!

Edit: Just want to add that I that I've tried a range of other kimchi's since writing this review and even some much more expensive ones weren't as good. Really appreciate the flavor, freshness, crunch and price of this one - if you can't get it made fresh at a local asian store this is the way to go IMHO. (If you're needing to drop some pounds and like kimchi it's terrific for that too - salty and addictive, satisfies that craving and you can eat as much as you want.) I love kimchi... I live on the East Coast and was surprised to get this kimchi so quickly. It was very well packed and arrived in perfect condition, in a very bloated bag - as expected, because kimchi out-gasses in any situation where it's fermenting, which it's supposed to do. It's a straightforward vegan kimchi, really delicious, with plenty of crunch and delightfully good flavor under the intense but not insane spiciness. It's at the fermentation stage that I like best, though good kimchi is tasty to me throughout. I use kimchi a lot of ways but I most like to just nosh on it plain and cold throughout the day until it gets to the point where it's best in soups and stews. One of the most addictive foods I know! I'm surprised that nobody mentions in the reviews that kimchi is LOADED with probiotics. For me it helps hugely with tum and IBS troubles. I'll definitely repurchase this brand, though with shipping it's crazy pricey. This is the best one I've found online (though there is another that I like almost as well, less spicy and not quite as nice in texture, tho), and much better than a lot of grocery store brands. Highly recommend.

I’ve been a loyal buyer for the last 4+ years, I LOVVEEE their kimchi so much it’s insane!! perfectly spicy, crunchy and fresh omg I eat it with just about everything. It comes wrapped up tight, never experienced leaking/smelling at all, with cooling packs for the journey to my doorstep. I love it best with just plain white rice & seaweed, or chasing it with a pot of shein ramen ❤️ also makes amazing kimchi fried rice, & kimchi pork dumplings! I love you Choi’s Kimchiiii

What can I not say good about this kimchi?! As someone only about two years new to Kimchi I have made a mini mission of mine to try all versions possible as I am hooked. (Plus the added health benis are chefskiss). None the less I am in love with Choi’s and was not at all disappointed unless wishing they shipped a radish version is a disappointment. Haha. None the less this is a must try brand as the taste is great and the cabbage even though fermented is a great crunch to add with an salad, as a side dish, just alone Or even with some white rice. It had a great acidity level and the good amount of spice- I could do an even spicier version maybe; but this version is good for all spice level pallets. The small pieces of green onion and radish are also a great treat but still wish they had a strictly Radish and strictly Green onion versions. The package was shipped wonderfully! It was well packaged in a sealed cushion encased pouch and two ice packs that were still very very cold when I opened it nearly 4hrs after it was delivered because... well Target happened. Haha but any who this is a must try especially if you are wanting to expand your tastebuds and have some added health benefits to your food prep. Choi’s has me as a customer for life. Just hook me up with my desired items :)

Very fresh flavor, aroma, and texture. I like the live fermentation and non-BPA packaging. It's easy to store in the fridge, as it flexes to fit between other items. It's affordable too, by far the best value in cost per ounce. After adding the fermented cabbage to rice based dishes over a number of days, I add diced apples to the remaining liquid to create an additional crunchy, zingy side!

This is the best kimchi I have had. It's the right combo of spicy and sour. The crunch is my favorite part! And I am not a fan of fermented shrimp paste so I love this vegan version.

I enjoy the freshness and crunch. However, the taste is lacking in authenticity. It's sweet and lacks the bite of authentic kimchi. It's almost as if the flavors are geared for western palette. Dissappointing.

Great stuff! Not hot at all. Just a bit warmed up. I was expecting something that might be quite hot. It's very good though as is.
