What gives the bite its crunch
The only oil we use
Freeze-dried live cultures, straight from the ferment
Made in a facility that may also process common allergens — cross-contact is possible. Always check the printed label on your bag; recipes may be updated between production runs.
Nutritional values shown are current estimates pending confirmation through lab testing of finished production samples. Actual content may vary; do not rely on these figures for medical, dietary, or regulatory purposes until final values are verified.

Our story
My grandmother (할머니) made kimchi by the jar, hands stained red with gochugaru. That recipe is the soul of KIMPOPS.
We're bottling a memory, the heat, the love, into something you can grab off a shelf and feel good about.
— Simon, founder of KIMPOPS
Early tasters are talking

★★★★★"Finally a 'healthy' snack that tastes like it has an opinion."
— Devon K.
★★★★★"Tastes exactly like my grandma's kimchi. How?!"
— Jenny P.
