About Tae-Gu Kimchi

As a child, making and jarring kimchi for our friends and family at the end of every summer was our family tradition. I can still hear my mom yelling for me to pass her the different ingredients to pour into the large silver bucket that she mixed beautifully by hand onto the crisp, clean, and fresh Napa cabbage. Historically, making and storing a winter’s worth of kimchi was a survival strategy. Napa cabbage growth was limited in the winter months, so families would make large batches of kimchi and bury them in the ground as their refrigeration method, helping it last much longer through the process of fermentation. And while we’re not burying our kimchi today, Tae-Gu Kimchi captures this beautiful tradition in every bite and supports gut health through its naturally occurring probiotics. Our mission is simple yet bold: to provide you with delicious, authentic handcrafted kimchi that is fresh and approachable. We take pride in offering three distinct flavors of napa cabbage kimchi: Classic, Vegan, and Extra Spicy. The Classic flavor strikes a perfect balance of salty, sweet, savory, and spicy, while our Vegan option remains true to tradition, omitting fish sauce and shrimp paste while maintaining that authentic taste. For the adventurous spice seekers, our Extra Spicy variation delivers that extra kick you crave. Our slogans, 'Spread the Love of Kimchi' and 'Kimchi on Everything,' encapsulate our passion for this Korean delight. Read their story
