Kimchi is a traditional fermented Korean side dish made of vegetables with a variety of seasonings.
As the Korean national dish’s popularity rises around the world an American magazine Health picked kimchi as one of the five most healthy dishes of the world, along with olive oil from Spain, the soy of Japan, yoghurt from Greece, and lentils from India.
Why try it: Kimchi is loaded with vitamins A, B, and C, but its biggest benefit may be in its “healthy bacteria” called lactobacilli, found in fermented foods like yogurt.
This good bacteria helps with digestion, plus it seems to help stop and even prevent yeast infections, according to a recent study. And more good news: Some studies show fermented cabbage has compounds that may prevent the growth of cancer.
