    not all peppers are from the nightshade family only bell peppers. Get Kimchi that is in the refrigerator section or at the Asian market. Kimchi by its very nature has peppers in it

    All chili peppers are from the nightshade family: "....The chili pepper (also chile pepper or chilli pepper, from Nahuatl chīlli Nahuatl pronunciation: [ˈt͡ʃiːli] ( listen)) is the fruit of plants from the genus Capsicum, members of the nightshade family, Solanaceae..."

    Its SOOOO easy to make! It ferments quickly and can be eaten in as little as 48 hours, but will last for months (years?!) And there are many low- sodium recipes out there.

    My fave recipe is an satay slaw made with napa cabbage, PB2 peanut butter, ginger & garlic paste, a little ponzu, and a big scoop of homemade kimchi. In the morning, I pack that in a lunch container, and by lunchtime, the flavors have all blended and it is DE-lish!

    Where do you buy it? Any specific brands recommended?
    I've never had it, currently not supposed to eat peppers/nightshade vegetables, but interested in digestive health. Any kimchi without peppers?

    You can definitely buy it at some Asian Supermarkets. It's often made in store and packaged in plastic containers. Otherwise, you can probably make it.

    i make my own usually but in a pinch or lazy i really like the brand "mother in laws".

    I like mother in laws also. I'm going to look into making my own. Do you have any recipes you like?

    i like this one.. its not completely tranditional because it doesnt have fish sauce or dried shrimo but i perfer it without those ingredients.

    If you like mild, try buying or making "white kimchi" which doesn't use any chilli at all. Nice chsnge of pace. Making some myself today. Here's the recipe:
