This is another variation of Kimchi that is not common in Korea for quite some time in the modern era. Peach with its juiciness and high-quality fructose, it is not an easy ingredient to be included in the fermentation.
They are difficult to grow to a perfect ripe level and the tree attracts a lot of pests because of its high level of fructose. Hence it is enjoyed just as they are if we find one that is well grown from our land.
Nevertheless, I feel lucky that both wild peach and farmed peach types are available in Europe. Though its aroma and flavor will be somewhat challenged away by garlic, onion, sea plants, ginger, leeks, and other relatively stronger flavored ingredients, I believe that the microorganisms will appreciate the diversity in their ecosystem.
