Why is kimchi usually sold fresh and unpasteurized while sauerkraut, pickles, etc. are more often sold pasteurized and shelf-stable?

because kimchi is a more recent addition to western markets, it isn't mass-produced much yet.

fermented kimchi is full of good probiotic bacteria, which the pasteurization process would kill

I don't want this to become a race war thing but Sauerkraut is white people food and kimchi is not. White people. particularly americans, are way more willing to accept heavily processed canned food. None whites will not eat food that they think is gross. (Not that you think is gross, that they think is gross)

Kimchi is made by leaving it in clay pots in the sun for a few months.
Never understood why it needs to be put in the fridge, but I do so anyway.

Kimchi's fermentation speed is very high and its package is very heavy.

>> No.10707558

Because patricians buy fresh kimchi for its early crunch and brightness and enjoy the evolving sour flavor as it ferments over just a few short weeks.

Also, they do sell pasteurized kimchi and it's just as disgusting as you'd think.

I prefer the flavor of freshly made as a side dish but as it sours it's great for kimchi chige soup. Never by the pasteurized shit with sealed lids in groceries, it's literally garbage. Either make it yourself or buy it from a korean market where a bunch of old korean aunties made it.

t. never met a Korean. Literally every Korean I've known loves spam, has 50 cans of the slimy canned kimchi in their cupboard, and happily wolfs crappy american fast food down 4 days a week. The fresh kimchi they have in the Asian market fridges is for the white people.

This was what you said, I provided a counter example and could add the old ladies who make it in bulk for korean markets don't add sugar either. You're fucked in the head and I'm reporting you to the ATF to have all your popguns confiscated before you shoot up a school.

Sauerkraut is packaged the same as sauertrout. You can't get fermented or pasteurized. Bugs prefers Heinz brand sauertrout.
