When eating at home, there will always be a plate of appetizing kimchi on the table. It will be eaten after a few days. Today I heard others say that it will be eaten for a period of time. Why is it better to eat kimchi after 20 days of pickling?

    Because pickles are 1-3 days after pickling, it is the period with the highest nitrite content. During this period, its content shows an increasing trend. Therefore, the content of nitrite in kimchi will gradually decrease and tend to a relatively stable value. But it takes nearly 15 days. In the middle of pickling, the pickle lid must not be opened, because the entry of oxygen is not conducive to the reduction of nitrite content. After pickling the kimchi for 20 days, the nitrite content will be very low and become nitrate.
