Kimchi is a low-calorie food. It is low in calories and fat content but is high in fiber, vitamin A, ascorbic acid, calcium, phosphorus, iron and has a large amount of other minerals.
Lactic acid produced during the fermentation of kimchi is regarded as having a positive effect on preventing cancer. Cabbage, garlic, and red chili pepper have a large amounts of minerals as well as medicinal contents. Large amount of fiber from kimchi can not be used as nutrients but have a great effect on the peristalsis of the stomach and the intestines, thus preventing constipation and cancer of the large intestines.There is a plenty of scientific evidence that red pepper and garlic have the effect on lowering the blood cholesterol level, antithrombosis, as well as an antioxidant effect. Therefore, kimchi is recognized as a health food with a good nutritional balance.
I love kimchi, I have a couple of my own recipes on my youtube channel to prove it. : )
