Quantum leap of kimchi
From the seventeenth century kimchi went through a revolutionary
development, especially with the use of
chili. Chili was introduced from
Japan shortly after their invasion of 1592, and began to be popularly
cultivated in about 1600. Turnip was replaced by
daikon radish, and Chinese
cabbage came to be used more than any other vegetables, and kimchi
became much close to the kimchi of today. Thus the radical change
seems to come from the success in growing chili and larger vegetables
like radish and Chinese cabbage.
With the coming of cabbage and radish to replace the vegetables that
were popular until then including turnip,
cucumber and eggplant,
Winter Kimchi also seems to have begun to be made
populary about the same time in the same constitution as today's where the
seasoning made of various flavorings and vegetables is stuffed between the
cabbage leaves.
