Kimchi, which has been paid to attention in the world, has recently been changing. At present, the interest in ‘Vegan Kimchi’ is increasing as Kimchi collaborates ‘vegan food’, which has emerged as the hottest trend in the worldwide food industry.

Kimchi is not a ‘short-term’ trend that has stayed in a year or two. In North America and Europe, kimchi already has been drawing attention as a healthy food. Exports of domestic kimchi manufacturers also increased remarkably. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, exports in 2018 were 97.5 million dollars, raising up to 20% from the previous year (81.39 million dollars). It is the highest since 2012.

In February 2019, ‘Haneulnaerin Kimch’, the Kimchi brand from Inje-gun, Gangwon Province, developed 'Vegan Kimchi' by the suggestion of a European buyer, and exported the Vegan Kimchi for the first time to the world. Korean food master and a culinary researcher, Shim Young-soon, developed the Vegan Kimchi with Nave S&F.

Nave S&F is a Korean spice seasoning manufacturer that researches, develops, manufactures, and sells spice seasoning products as a main lineup. The spice seasoning maintains close communication with Ms. Shim for the work of dissolving the values of her and his heart for Korean food. In addition, by establishing a food science research institute affiliated with the company, Nave S&F maintains Ms. Shim's taste, and researches and develops the method of commercialization.

Recently, Nave S&F has been recognized in the food industry well by releasing products such as E-Mart Peacock and cooperative development products, showing its capabilities.

In consideration of the health of modern people, Nave S&F launched a total of 8 products including spice paste, spice juice, spice oil, beef soup soy sauce, spice red pepper oil, spice oyster sauce, child's delicious Bibim soy sauce, and child's delicious soup soy sauce.

The CEO of Nave S&F CEO, Yoon-jeong Jang, the youngest daughter of Ms. Shim, said, “We developed the Vegan Kimchi with Haneulnaerin Kimchi over 7 to 8 months to make several Kimchi products. We are doing our best to develop seasonings and protect the health of our families and neighbors with natural seasonings that preserve the taste of raw materials.”
