Details
Our Classic Kimchi brings together crisp napa cabbage, refreshing tang, vibrant heat, and the familiar savory flavor of traditional Korean-style kimchi. Conveniently pre-sliced and ready to enjoy, it is a flavorful addition to rice bowls, noodles, sandwiches, tacos, and everyday meals.

We begin with napa cabbage, radish, fresh vegetables, Korean red pepper powder, garlic, ginger, anchovy fish sauce, and salted shrimp. Instead of corn syrup or high-fructose corn syrup, we use our own ginger-panela syrup, made with organic ginger and organic panela sugar. The kimchi is naturally fermented to develop deep umami, bright tang, and satisfying crunch.

Naturally fermented, unpasteurized, and made without heat treatment. Made in small batches in Florida.

A 2,000-Year-Old Tradition

What is
Kimchi?

Korea's most celebrated fermented food — in every jar.

Kimchi is a centuries-old Korean preservation tradition that transforms napa cabbage, radish, and fresh vegetables into something complex, tangy, and deeply satisfying. The transformation happens through lacto-fermentation: naturally occurring lactic acid bacteria convert sugars into lactic acid, building rich umami flavor without any cooking. Unpasteurized kimchi continues to ferment slowly in the jar, evolving in taste and character over time. What starts crisp and mildly tangy deepens into something bolder, more complex, and unmistakably its own.

Fermented with intention,
every week.

New Universe Food was born from a simple conviction: the best kimchi is made the way it has always been made — small batches, real ingredients, time, and care. We make our kimchi fresh in Florida every week, using organic ginger, panela sugar, and gochugaru sourced from Korean farms. No corn syrup. No MSG. No shortcuts. Just the kind of kimchi that keeps on living in the jar, the way it was always meant to be.

Fresh, never-canned kimchi has a snap you can hear. This is what living food sounds like — the sound of a jar fermented this week, not months ago.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

Does this kimchi contain fish or shellfish?
Yes. It contains anchovy fish sauce and salted shrimp.
Is it naturally fermented?
Yes. Our Classic Kimchi is naturally fermented using traditional fermentation methods.
Is it pasteurized or heat-treated?
No. This kimchi is unpasteurized and is made without heat treatment.
How will it arrive?
It ships refrigerated after fermentation begins. Because fermentation can continue gradually during refrigerated storage, its flavor, tang, and texture may vary slightly over time.
Should I refrigerate it immediately upon arrival?
Yes. Refrigerate promptly upon arrival and keep at or below 41°F (5°C) for product quality.
Does it contain corn syrup or high-fructose corn syrup?
No. It is made without corn syrup or high-fructose corn syrup. We use our own ginger-panela syrup, made with organic ginger and organic panela sugar.
How long is it fermented, and does fermentation continue?
We begin fermentation for two days before refrigerating and shipping the product. During refrigerated storage, the flavor may continue to develop gradually.
How does the flavor change over time?
When younger, kimchi is generally crisp and mild with a lighter tang. As it matures, it develops deeper savory notes, more pronounced tang, and a softer texture. More mature kimchi is especially well suited to cooked dishes such as kimchi stew, fried rice, and pancakes.
How long can I keep it?
When properly refrigerated at or below 41°F (5°C), the kimchi is generally best enjoyed within three to six months of production. For peak crunch and a milder tang, enjoy it within about three months. For a more developed, deeply fermented flavor, enjoy it within approximately six months.
