Baek kimchi (literally "white kimchi") is a variety of kimchi made without the chili pepper powder commonly used for pickling kimchi in Korean cuisine. Baek kimchi has a mild and clean flavor, which children and old people enjoy.1 It consists of salted Chinese cabbage (called baechu, 배추 in Korean), daikon, water dropwort (called "minari", 미나리 in Korean), spring onions, bae (hangul:배, Korean pear), chestnuts, jujube, ginger, garlic, salt, sugar, and a little bit of shredded chili pepper as a garnish.
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.
