Kimchi-derived probiotic found to promote binding and excretion of intestinal nanoplastics
A lactic acid bacterium isolated from kimchi may help promote the removal of nanoplastics from the body by binding to them in the intestine. Nanoplastics are ultrafine plastic particles measuring less than 1 micrometer that are generated during the degradation of larger plastic materials. These particles can enter the human body through food and drinking water. Due to their extremely small size, nanoplastics may cross the intestinal barrier and accumulate in organs such as the kidneys and brain. However, biological strategies to reduce nanoplastic accumulation in the gastrointestinal tract remain at an early stage of research.

As long as I don't have to actually eat kimchi, this development is exciting.

Unfortunately, I do not. It's because the person who introduced me to it was trying to make it themselves and were full of false confidence. It always tasted like old cole slaw that had been rinsed in the sink.
I might give it another go, however.

This is just what it tastes like... that's why they add hot sauce so it stops tasting like a moldy coleslaw sock.

Dude who made it was "mayo is spicy" white so there was basically no hot sauce. I'll have to try it again then.

I also dont eat it on its own. I use it as garnish. There are a lot of nasty cheeses out there but when paired so they are not the main flavor they become wonderful. Kimchie is the same way imo.
Example, ill make ramen and put a bit of kimchie in the bowl after the ramen is ready. You dont cook it with things though as that will kill the probiotic and with no probiotic... why the fuck are you eating kimchie unless you are a psychopath...
Enjoy!

Ahhh... Good pointers. I appreciate it.

You can cook with it too, it adds a nice tangy flavor plus some complexity. But like you said, This Kills The Bacteria
