What does Kimchi taste like

Kimchi tastes similar to a South African Chakalaka or Indian Atchar but without the vinegar & sugar taste. The initial flavour profile of the Kimchi is sour, gingery, garlicky with a hint of Chilli (same as the heat level as a pickled Jalapeno).

Although Kimchi is a healthy dish, over eating is not advised as this is an unhealthy choice in any area.
