I have the remnants of a jar of anchovy fillets in oil, which I am intending to put into my next #kimchi-alike. I'm going to estimate that the anchovies are about 50% salt w/w when it comes to calculating how much salt I need to provide to the mix.

Does anybody else have a better/more informed guess?

Scientists Say This Popular Food Could Help Your Body Get Rid of Microplastics

Researchers found that a bacterium from kimchi can bind and help expel nanoplastics from the body, showing promise as a probiotic approach to reducing plastic accumulation. Scientists in South Korea have identified a surprising ally in the fight against plastic pollution inside the human body: a

Good Idea: Eat more Kimchi

Kimchi probiotic promotes the excretion of nanoplastics from the gut:
Kimchi's lactic acid bacteria (Leuconostoc mesenteroides CBA3656) have been found to bind with nanoplastics in the gut.
An animal study showed that nanoplastic content in feces more than doubled in mice given these specific bacteria, suggesting enhanced excretion.
The findings, published in 'Bioresource Technology', highlight the potential of fermented food microbes in tackling plastic pollution's health impact.

The one thing to watch: kimchi is salty, and a review of sixty studies linked high consumption of pickled, salt-fermented foods to increased stomach cancer risk, especially in combination with H. pylori infection. Keep it as a flavorful side dish rather than a main course, watch your overall sodium, and eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruit alongside it. Research found that fresh produce is associated with an 85% reduction in stomach cancer odds. The balance is the whole point. https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-role-of-kimchi-and-h-pylori-in-stomach-cancer/

Trying to make kimchi with vegan alternative(s) for fish sauce. This one has a kelp based tamari to try to get some of that oceany flavor into it. Will see in a week or so if it’s successful or not.

I’m guessing the kimchi will still be good, but whether it has that subtle flavor profile added to it or not remains to be seen.

At Last, a Food That Could Help You Poop Out Nanoplastics

The modern era has brought some pretty depressing realities upon us. Nanoplastics are definitely one of them. They’re inescapable. They’re in our water, our food, the air we breathe, and, of course, our bodies. Nothing feels safe or “pure” anymore. So, any res…

Culture Shift

We tend to think of fermented foods as something humans invented and then chose to eat. But the evidence shows the opposite: fermented foods shaped human biology.
