After marinating for 30 days.

1 to 3 days after pickling kimchi is the period when the nitrite content is the highest, and its content shows an increasing trend during this time period. Starting from the third day, the oxygen in the kimchi jar is depleted due to the continuous reproduction of microorganisms, and the nitrate in the vegetables is gradually reduced due to oxidation.

After pickling kimchi for 20 days, the nitrite content will drop to a very low level and turn into nitrate. It should be eaten after 20 days. It is relatively healthy to eat kimchi stored for a long time (more than 30 days).

During the middle stage of pickling, the lid of the kimchi must not be opened, because the entry of oxygen is not conducive to the reduction of nitrite content.
