Baek kimchi is napa cabbage kimchi made without red pepper powder. The salted cabbage is seasoned with a mild, watery mix of pear, garlic, ginger and radish and covered with liquid, so it sours into a pale, clean-tasting kimchi with a drinkable broth. Made in 4 steps over 26 days – 2.1 months. The longest step, ferment sealed in the cool, takes 12–50 days (소명환 and 김영배 (So and Kim) 1997) and runs at 15 °C (소명환 and 김영배 (So and Kim) 1997). Salt is 0.5–3 % (강근옥 1997). Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides and Leuconostoc paramesenteroides, with Lactobacillus bavaricus, at best ripeness and Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus brevis, once it is over-ripe do most of the fermenting.
Amounts from a sourceAmounts per 100 g of a factory-made white kimchi from Gwangju, as analysed by the World Institute of Kimchi in 2025. Its salt content was 0.80 %. Home recipes vary; no tested home recipe with amounts was found.

What makes this one different
Baek kimchi leaves out red pepper powder and adds more liquid than baechu kimchi, so the cabbage sits in a broth like a water kimchi. Pear and other mild seasonings replace the chilli paste.
Frozen white kimchiUnripe white kimchi held at −45 to −10 °C for 4 weeks kept its pH at 6.05–6.18, though ice damaged its texture.
White kimchi juiceA drink made from the broth; one study found 1.0 % salt and 30 °C gave the best-liked base.
Safety
A survey of Korean kimchi found lower biogenic amine levels in baek kimchi than in baechu kimchi. Levilactobacillus brevis was the main tyramine maker among the bacteria isolated.
A 1988 review of 896 Korean kimchi publications from 1976 to 1987 listed baek kimchi with whole-cabbage and bossam kimchi among the cabbage-based kinds.
