About This Food

Kimchi is a traditional Korean fermented dish, widely consumed as a staple side dish. The calories in kimchi is 22.5 per serving (100g). It provides probiotics, beneficial bacteria that support gut health, and is a good source of vitamin K. Kimchi also contains capsaicin from chili peppers. Kimchi is generally suitable for most people, but those with sodium sensitivities should be mindful of portion sizes. A moderate serving, about 1/2 to 1 cup per day, is generally recommended. It can be a neutral addition to a weight management plan due to its low calorie count and potential probiotic benefits. Try adding it to your meals in smaller portions to manage sodium intake.
