Selecting Raw Materials

The journey of creating Picky Wicky's renowned canned kimchi starts with the careful selection of raw materials. Quality is paramount, so each ingredient—cabbage, radish, garlic, ginger, and chili peppers—is sourced from trusted farmers who adhere to strict agricultural standards. These ingredients are not only chosen for their freshness but also for their flavor profiles that are essential in creating an authentic kimchi taste.

The Fermentation Process

After washing and cutting the vegetables, the next critical step is fermentation. This is where the kimchi begins to develop its unique flavor and texture. The vegetables are salted and then mixed with a blend of spices, including chili powder, garlic, ginger, and sometimes fish sauce or fermented shrimp for extra depth of flavor. The mixture is then left to ferment in a controlled environment where temperature and humidity are carefully monitored. This process can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks, depending on the desired sourness and depth of flavor.

Canning and Preservation

Once the kimchi has fermented to Picky Wicky’s standards, it’s time for canning. The kimchi is packed into cans manually to ensure each can is filled with an optimal mix of ingredients. The cans are then sealed and heated to a specific temperature. This heat treatment not only preserves the kimchi by killing any remaining bacteria but also ensures that it remains shelf-stable for up to two years without refrigeration. This step is crucial as it locks in the kimchi's flavor and nutritional value.

Quality Control and Safety Measures

Throughout the production process, Picky Wicky implements rigorous quality control measures to ensure the final product meets safety and quality standards. Each batch of kimchi is tested for pH levels and microbial activity to guarantee safety. Additionally, random cans undergo taste tests to ensure the flavor is up to the mark. The company's commitment to quality doesn't stop at the factory door—each shipment is carefully monitored from the production line to delivery, ensuring that customers receive only the best.
