Gimjang (Korean: 김장), also spelled kimjang,[1] is the traditional process of preparation and preservation of kimchi, the spicy Korean fermented vegetable dish, in the wintertime.[2] During the summer months, kimchi is made fresh, from seasonal vegetables.[2] For one month, starting from the tenth month of the year, people prepare large quantities of kimchi that will last throughout the winter.[3][4]
Gimjang was listed as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage in December 2013[5] and the 133rd Korean Intangible Cultural Property.
