Kimchi may be a Korean cuisine staple that's made with many different vegetables but it is not often friendly to vegetarians, as the side dish is often flavored with brined shrimp or fish sauce—Nasoya is changing this with its all-new Vegan Kimchi line. These kimchi products are free from artificial flavors and preservatives and contain minimal ingredients; the products are available in Spicy, Mild, White and Radish varieties, with the latter listing only radish, green onion and salt as ingredients.
These probiotic-rich kimchi cups are being positioned as perfect accompaniments to meals made with everything from rice and pasta to roasted vegetables.
To educate consumers on the benefits of kimchi, its history and recipes, Nasoya will be sharing a dedicated webpage on kimchi the spring.
