4. What is black spot on the cabbage? Is it safe to eat?
The cause of black dots, known as “pepper spot” or “black spec”, is likely to be low light levels, high soil pH, fertilizers high in nitrogen and phosphorus, and harvesting & storage conditions. Regardless of the cause, our scientists confirmed that the cabbage leaves with “Black Specs” are perfectly safe to eat.
But to find out if they affect flavor or texture, we set up a blind tasting. Tasters couldn’t tell the difference between unblemished leaves and those with pepper spot. And unless we’re using whole cabbage leaves, the dots are so small that they aren’t even noticeable. From now on, we’ll go ahead and buy heads of napa cabbage with the black dots without concern.

5. When does Dr. Yoon Kimchi taste the best?
While Dr. Yoon Kimchi is delivered soon after it is produced, it will continue to fermented in your fridge for up to 6 months. or even longer if you keep refrigerated, seal the jar tightly after use, and only use with clean utensils (saliva will speed the breakdown of food due to the enzyme amylase).
Kimchi with a lot of lactobacillus gives us a fresh, crunchy texture, and a savory taste. According to the following results of Dr. Yoon's microbiology test to set the distribution period, Lactobacillus decreased by 0.86*108 (CFU/g) at 6 weeks after showing the highest level 2.1*108 (CFU/g) at 2 weeks after kimchi production and then significantly decreased to 0.28*108 (CFU/g) at 10 weeks. If you keep refrigerated between 0°- 4°, it will continue to age in your fridge for up to 6 months or even longer, and it will get a strong sour taste of pH 3.5.
While the commercial brand Activa (Danone) contains probiotics between 107-108 (CFU/mL), DR. YOON KIMCHI contains probiotics between 0.86*108 - 2.1*108 (CFU/g) during the first 6 weeks after production. However, the probiotics decreased between 0.33*106 – 0.21*107 (CFU/g) after production 14 weeks. Therefore, you had better Dr. Yoon Kimchi between 2-6 weeks after production if you want to enjoy the best taste of Dr. Yoon Kimchi.
6. Can I return the kimchi?

However, kimchi is more than just a side dish and is extremely versatile, making it an invaluable and flavorful ingredient in all kinds of cooking. In Korean cooking, kimchi is used to make stews, fried rice, pancakes, and more. With theadvent of asian-western fusion cuisine, we have seen Kimchi with bagels, muffins, panini and salads.
