Foodies love seeing a favorite from one region reimagined with staples from another, and Mediterranean Kimchi by Complete Organics does just that by pairing mild white cabbage with olives, red peppers, tomatoes and savory herbs. Only 100% organic vegetables go into making Complete Organics' plant-based Mediterranean Kimchi, which further appeals to ingredient-conscious consumers by being unpasteurized, excluding additives from its clean and simple ingredient list, and full of beneficial active cultures.
Converging an interest in functional foods for gut health with globally inspired flavors, this Mediterranean-inspired take on a Korean classic naturally pairs with a variety of sides like chickpea salad, orzo dishes, and creamy dips prepared with traditional favorites like labneh or feta.
