Baek kimchi (literally "white kimchi") is a variety of kimchi made without chili pepper powder, which is commonly used for pickling kimchi in Korean cuisine. Baek kimchi has a mild and clean flavor, so is good for children and old people. [1] It is consisting of salted Chinese cabbage (called baechu, 배추 in Korean), daikon, water dropwort (called "minari", 미나리 in Korean), spring onions, bae (hangul:배, Korean pear), chestnuts, jujube, ginger, garlics, salt, sugar, and little bit of shredded chili pepper for its decoration.

With its mild flavor and crunchy texture, baek kimchi is also served as a good appetizer when people order a main dish based on beef such as kalbi and bulgogi at a Korean restaurant.
