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.
