Not all kimchi is scorchingly hot.  This is a picture of Curious Farm’s Spring Harvest Kimchi — uncrocked today and soon to be available at the Beaverton Farmers Market.  It’s sour, crunchy, and refreshing.  Most of its heat comes from lively ginger.  Garlic and chili flakes play minor roles.

We also offer two radish kimchi: Curious Farm Spicy Radish Kimchi and Curious Farm Sweet Radish Kimchi.  (The Spicy Radish Kimchi variety is available also at Food Front on NW Thurman Street.)

While I love making all of the products we offer, making kimchi is pure joy from start to finish.  I love the bright, zingy flavors in each variety of kimchi.  Each batch of kimchi seems like a flavor snapshot of a particular moment in the season.
