Korean Coleslaw is crafted from Lactobacillus plantarum CJLP55, a live culture derived from gochugaru chili peppers that has been studied for its potential to support healthy, radiant-looking skin from the inside out. This release aligns with health-conscious consumers' interest in tending to skin from within, and investing in their beauty with products from the grocery store. As such, the new release from the fresh-fermented foods brand has officialy launched nationwide at [Walmart](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flanagan-farm) and [H-E-B](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pillsbury-baking-pistachio). "Korean culture has already transformed beauty and wellness," said Drew Anderson, co-founder and CEO of Cleveland Kitchen. "We saw the same opportunity in food, bringing together bold, globally inspired flavor and real functional benefits that make it easy for people to eat well and feel good from the inside out." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 72% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Fermented Functional Foods:** Products leveraging specific probiotic strains like Lactobacillus plantarum CJLP55 to deliver measurable skin and gut benefits through everyday condiments and refrigerated items. - **Beauty-from-within Grocery:** Shelf-stable and refrigerated aisles evolving into beauty destinations as grocery brands position ingestible formulations as skincare alternatives. - **Global Flavor Remodeling:** Traditional side dishes are being reimagined with Korean and other global profiles to create premium, culturally inspired mainstream offerings. ### Where This Applies - **Packaged Fresh Foods:** Cold-packaged salads and condiments that incorporate live cultures and clinically characterized functional ingredients to command premium pricing and new label claims. - **Retail Grocery Chains:** Supermarkets acting as distribution and marketing platforms for culinary-meets-wellness brands, with curated sections and exclusive launches driving foot traffic. - **Cosmetic Nutraceuticals:** Brands that combine food-grade formulations and dermatological science to blur lines between topical skincare and ingestible beauty products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fermented Bean Side Salads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fermented-chickpea-salad.md) - [Korean-Inspired Smash Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oh-g-burger.md) - [Globally Inspired Open-Face Bagels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rise-bagels.md) - [Korean BBQ Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cupbop.md) - [Globally Inspired Quiche Dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/higgidy-quiche-range.md) - [Free-From Kimchi Crisps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oh-so-healthys-kimchi-crisps.md) - [Oven-Baked Kimchi Fried Rice](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kimchi-fried-rice-recipe.md) - [Korean BBQ Menu Additions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/korean-bbq-menu.md) - [Korean-Inspired Burger Offerings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/korean-bbq-charburger.md)
