                                Properly prepared kimchi is inherently safe due to a controlled microbial process called lacto-fermentation, which creates an acidic environment hostile to pathogens. Understanding the science behind how does kimchi not make you sick is crucial for home fermenters and consumers alike to appreciate this probiotic-rich staple.
