It’s actually “Eden Foods Organic Kimchi Sauerkraut” and it’s pasteurized and sold on the grocery shelf. It does not contain the probiotic bacteria of a truly fermented kimchi. True kimchi requires refrigeration in order to keep its probiotic bacteria alive.

So, Eden might taste good (to some), but it doesn’t belong on this “probiotic” list. Thanks though. :⁠-⁠)

In reply to Alicia Harper. To me, Wildbrine tastes too pickle ish, and the spice level seems to intensify in just a few days of opening the jar, which is too much for me. I prefer the Lucky Foods Seoul Vegan available by the jar in my local grocery store. I'm looking forward to trying your Apple Kimchi

In reply to Cynthia. Hi Cynthia, you are totally right, and thanks for pointing that out. I would have to say in my opinion making your own Kimchi is the best way to go.

I noticed that one of your recommendations has sugar in the ingredients. Sugar is a big, “NO, NO!”, for those of us suffering from Candida, oral thrush, yeast infections.

What do you recommend for those that can’t handle really hot and due to oral thrush must have NO SUGAR?

Hi Elizabeth,

Thanks for your comment!

Sure 🙂 The probiotic bacteria comes from the Lacto-fermentation process and not the chillies. If you are super sensitive to Chillies it may be best to make your own Kimchi because even the mild versions from “Madge’s Food Company” for example, are still too spicy for some.

Hi Alicia. You were good to compare and review packaged kimchi products. You’ve saved us all some time and money. In college, a Korean piano student made kimchi so spicy, you could skip sinus medications for a week after dinner at her place. Fist forward to now, and I’ve become hyper-sensitive to hot chili spices. Do mild kimchi’s offer the same probiotic benefits? How do I find the truly mild versions? Thank you for the pep talk demystifying the process of making kimchi at home.

I just tried, Sunja’s Medium Spicy Cabbage Kimchi and I have to say it is my all time favorite. Came to the article to see if it made the list lol.

I’ll have to try these now to compare.
