14. Kimchi
Kimchi is a Korean fermented vegetable dish, typically made with cabbage, radish, and a blend of spices including garlic and chili. Like sauerkraut, it's dairy-free. The spice blend, including chili, adds capsaicin, a compound with anti-inflammatory properties. Kimchi tends to have a more diverse bacterial profile than many other fermented foods due to the variety of vegetables involved. It works well as a side dish or condiment, but heat destroys the probiotics, so add it to dishes after cooking rather than during.
