Garlic, ginger, and Chiness cabbage provide dietary fiber, which is vital for
human sustenance. Dietary fiber helps digestive enzymes to mix well with food
in the stomach and the intestines.It also facilitates peristalsis, improving
food digestion and absorption as well as preventing constipation. In
addition,kimchi eliminates sources of disease and toxic chemicals within blood
vessels, and protects against cancer. Kimchi seasonings not only add flavors and
tastes, but also contain various healthy substances iber helps digestive enzymes

Baechu(English name: Chinese cabbages) suitable for
kimchi look clean and fresh, with many green leaves and thin skin. Inner leaves
should be tightly held so that few outer leaves have to be cut out. In the case
of preserved cabbages, good ones look fresh and have green leaves. In the case
of newly harvested cabbages, bigger ones are better. For autumn cabbages,
middle-sized but heavy ones are prefered. Baechu(English name: Chinese cabbages)
is full of vitamins and minerals,and has a lot of medicinal properties.
Methylmethionine,a biologically activated form of methionine found in
Baechu(English name: Chinese cabbages), helps treat Atherosclerosis. It is also
reported that methylsysteinsulfoxid in Baechu(English name: Chinese cabbages)
helps remove cholesterol. |

Mostly composed of water, radishes are rich in
vitamin C and contain diastase, a digestive enzyme. Therefore, eating rare
radish is good for digestion. Since the skin contains twice as much vitamin C as
the inner part, it is better to clean radishes with water instead of peeling
their skin. A good radish is big and looks clean and fresh. Sweet radishes that
are dense but soft are also recommended for making kimchi. |

Red pepper contains carotenoid, vitamin C, and other
healthy ingredients. The capsycine in red pepper has sterilizing effects, and
helps digestion by promoting the secretion of saliva and gastric juice. In
general, red pepper also promotes metabolism. Thick and clean sun-dried red
pepper with shiny skin is good for making gimjang kimchi (kimchi prepared for
the winter). |

Garlic, N.O. Liiaceae Allium sativum, is presumed to
be native to Central Asia. Garlic has bulbs that grow underground. Each bulb of
garlic is wrapped with a light brown skin and divided into five to six cloves.
The most common species of garlic grown in Korea are soinpyeon (with 3~4
cloves), dainpyeon (with many cloves), and jangson. Dainpyeon is very hot and is
used for making gimjang kimchi. In the case of jangson garlic,the stems or
leaves are used rather than the bulbs. Allyl sulfide, a very pungent substance
contained in garlic, is 15 times more germicidal than carbonic acid. This
chemical has many other efficacies: helping metabolism, easing pain, preventing
constipation, and detoxifying the body. |

Unlike usual vegetables, which are alkaline, green
onion contains a considerable amount of sulfur, and thus it is acidic. Green
onion has a limited storage life, since water accounts for some 80% of its
contents. The green part is very rich in vitamin A and C. Green onion contains a
sulfide of the radical allyl, a stimulant substance with sterilizing effects.
When choosing thick green onions, the freshness of their stems is important. In
the case of thin ones, their leaves must be short and fresh. In general, the
root should look rather white, and the stems should have an even thickness. |

In combination with other seasonings such as
vinegar, soy sauce, salt, and honey, ginger preserves the taste of foods. Ginger
is rich in water, some 80%, and other inorganic substances. It is gingerone that
gives ginger its unique flavor and hot taste. This chemical is good for the
stomach and promotes perspiration. It also helps people lose weight. Large
ginger with and thin skin is watery, soft, and mild.

A type of green marine algae growing on rocks in
shallow seawater, the glue plant has a green and slippery surface. It is rich in
calcium and phosphorus, and is used for various types of kimchi including
gimjang kimchi. |

Salt is the first and most important seasoning for
mankind. It gives flavor to foods and is an irreplaceable source of vital
nutrients and materials. Once ingested, salt is dissolved into sodium and
chlorine. It affects osmotic pressure in the blood, digestive juices, and tissue
fluids. It also controls acidity and regulates nerve and muscle excitability. |

Salted fish includes a variety of long-preserved
fermented foods. During the fermentation period, protein is hydrolyzed into
amino acid, resulting in a unique flavor. The bones of the fish turn into
calcium, easily absorbed, and the fat turns into volatile fatty acid, providing
taste. As a good source of protein, calcium, and fat, salted fish is rich in
nutrients. It neutralizes body fluids, a very important function. Salted
shrimps, the most commonly used type of salted fish, tastes particularly good
because of its relatively small amount of fat. Salted anchovy, another popular
salted fish used for kimchi, contains the highest percentage of fat, essential
amino acids, and calories among salted fish. |
