Salty Cabbage introduces Vancouver’s premium handmade kimchi

The history of kimchi stretches back over 2000 years and while it’s best-known as an essential of Korean cuisine, it’s also found fans all over the world as the perfect complement to familiar dishes like BBQ, soups, cheeses, and salads.

Salty Cabbage is proud to introduce Vancouver’s premium kimchi, now available at retail, online, and in delicious dishes at a number of Vancouver restaurants. Made by hand using the freshest ingredients, Salty Cabbage offers vegan and vegetarian-friendly options, all of which are gluten-free and made without preservatives. Along with adding an umami kick to almost any dish, Salty Cabbage offers a wide range of probiotic benefits to support gut health.

The Salty Cabbage story starts on Denman St. where founder Kailyn Chun worked at Ma Dang Goul Korean restaurant, where she spent her days making kimchi which slowly built a fan base who would drive from across the Lower Mainland to buy kimchi to take home with them. The idea of turning this into a business grew and she worked with Glasfurd & Walker to create a brand and packaging which would tell the story of Salty Cabbage and differentiate it from the factory-made products which dotted the shelves of supermarkets around the city.

Salty Cabbage currently offers four different kimchi options: Classic, Classic Vegan, Radish, and White, each made using homestyle Korean techniques and recipes. Salty Cabbage kimichi is featured on the menus at Vancouver restaurants like Sing Sing Beer Bar, Blackbird Public House, and Rice Burger and is currently available at select retailers including Meinhardt Fine Foods and West Wood Organic. It can be ordered online through www.saltycabbage.com and Uber Eats, and Salty Cabbage will also be sold at the Hastings Park Farmers Market this Winter.
