Handcrafted Kimchi Collections

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Chi Kitchen's Products are Created from Local Ingredients

— February 21, 2017 — Lifestyle
Chi Kitchen is a brand created by Minnie Luong, who decided to start creating and selling her kimchi on the market after spending her whole life eating the nutritious, flavorful food.

The Chi Kitchen brand offers "fermented cabbage that is brined with salt and combined with chopped garlic and onions, julienned ginger and Korean red pepper" -- and is flavored with either a fish sauce or a miso paste as part of the vegan option. Luong creates all of the products by hand and uses locally sourced ingredients, a process that she learned to appreciate with the lessons her father taught her through his fishing and gardening hobbies.

Bottled in minimalist glass jars, Chi Kitchen products offer artisanal, traditional foods that people with varying diets can enjoy.
Trend Themes
1. Local Food Craftsmanship - There's an opportunity for small businesses to create artisanal food products as people are increasingly looking to support local food producers.
2. Plant-based Fermented Foods - As plant-based diets continue to gain popularity, there's an opportunity to create traditionally fermented foods that are both vegan and flavorful.
3. Minimalist Packaging Design - Brands can appeal to eco-conscious consumers by using minimalistic glass jars for packaging, as it conveys a sense of quality and sustainability.
Industry Implications
1. Artisanal Food Producers - Small business owners can create handcrafted versions of popular foods that incorporate local ingredients for a unique selling proposition.
2. Plant-based Food Companies - Fermented foods offer an opportunity for plant-based food companies to expand their product lines and offer more variety to customers.
3. Eco-friendly Packaging Suppliers - As more companies embrace minimalist packaging design, there's a growing need for eco-friendly options that are stylish and functional.
