Volcano Kimchi Does Banchan Bay Area Style
| | "Some people say, 'I don't like kimchi,' because they have this image of kimchi as a salty, fishy, and made with MSG," says Aruna Lee, maker of Volcano Kimchi. "But when they taste my organic kimchi, they're like 'wow!'" Each jar of Aruna's vegan kimchi is packed with the fresh and crisp flavors of her childhood growing up in a Buddhist monastery in South Korea, translated through her experiences moving to the Bay Area. "It was an amazing kind of kimchi," she remembers. "I just want to share it with people." Today, she brings Volcano Kimchi to the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market, where visitors are eager to enjoy the delicious benefits of farm-fresh probiotic ferments. |
