Baek kimchi (literally "white kimchi") is a variety of kimchi made without the chili pepper powder commonly used for pickling kimchi in Korean cuisine.1 Baek kimchi has a mild and clean flavor, which appeals to children and the elderly, to whom the regular kimchi might be too spicy.2 Baek kimchi consists of salted baechu (cabbage), mu (radish), minari, spring onions, Korean pear, chestnuts, jujube, ginger, garlic, salt, sugar, and a little bit of shredded chili pepper as garnish.3

Baek kimchi's mild flavor and crunchy texture makes it a good appetizer when people order main dishes based on beef such as kalbi or bulgogi at Korean restaurants. It is also used as a wrap for baek kimchi bossam.4
