Koreans traditionally make enough kimchi to last for the entire winter season, although with refrigerators and commercial bottled kimchi this practice has become less common. Kimchi that is readily made is called geotjeori (겉절이) and the one that is fermented for a long time and has more sour taste is called sin-kimchi (신김치). Moreover, different regions of Korea make kimchi in different ways with different kinds of ingredients. For instance the lower southern part tends to make it taste more salty to preserve it longer. Some of the extra ingredients they use include squids, oysters and various other raw seafoods. Kimchi is often cited for its health benefits and has been included in Health magazine's "World's Healthiest Foods".

Research has also found kimchi to be a preventive factor to stomach cancer. [6] [7]
