Kimchi varieties
Kimchi categorizes according to main ingredients, regions or seasons. Korea's northern and southern sections have a considerable temperature difference.[7] Northern regions tend to have longer winters compared to the southern regions of Korea. Kimchi from the northern parts of Korea tend to have less salt as well as less red peppers and usually leave out have brined seafood for seasoning. Northern kimchi often has a watery consistency. Unlike northern styles, kimchi in the southern parts of Korea, such as Jeolla-do and Gyeongsang-do, contains salt, chili peppers and salted fish liberally. Depending upon the season of the year, the various weather conditions, and ingredients available in the region, Korean produce different varieties of kimchi.
