Previous Entry :: Next Entry Read/Post Comments (0) =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ I saw an article reprinted in the local paper the other day which tied this into sauerkraut. Apparently in Wisconsin sales of sauerkraut have gone through the roof (sauerkraut being the German version of kimchi. Or is kimchi the Korean version of sauerkraut?) The article I read only identified that 'an extract' of kimchi was used to treat poultry infected with the bird flu. It's not clear though that the 'active ingredient' is common to kimchi and sauerkraut or is specific to kimchi. I suppose if you contract the bird flu that you'll want to be on the safe side and just eat the kimchi. Mmm.
