Kimchi, the future food all around the world
As kimchi's nutritional value is being scientifically confirmed, food
scientists in and out of Korea are recommending it as the "food for
future." The amount of kimchi export throughout the world is also
increasing.
The first exporters of kimchi were the first generation of Korean
emmigrants. People who moved out to China, russia, Hawaii and Japan
were "kimchi-sick" and made kimchi in the new communities. With
their introduction, people who were there before Koreans came in came
to know the food as its original name, "kimchi." In these places you can
easily find kimchi in many Korean shops or in market.
In the past in Japan kimchi was bought and sold between Korean
settlers only. The market expanded in about 1985 to involve the
Japanese people too, and now its circulation is very active. Kimchi is
being known for its sterilizing effect, and the food value of
garlic is being recognized in Japan.
The need to ingest fiber is also being emphasized, which is abundant in
kimchi. As their nutritional interest of kimchi increases, their preference
of food itself is being changed.
Thus, as a whole, kimchi is getting more and more popular all around
the world as its nutritional value and unique flavors are being widely
acknowledged.
