Whole Foods Market shoppers nationwide will soon be adding an exciting product innovation to their carts as fermented foods leader Cleveland Kitchen announces its latest launch. The company’s new Kimchi Pickles are rolling out across 466 Whole Foods Markets locations.
"We are excited to bring our 16 oz Kimchi Pickles to the Whole Foods Market community nationwide," said Mac Anderson, Chief Commercial Officer and Co-Founder at Cleveland Kitchen. "This unique offering combines the vibrant and tangy essence of kimchi with the crunchiness of our pickles, creating a one-of-a-kind taste experience that will surely captivate pickle lovers everywhere."
Addictively delicious, Cleveland Kitchen's Kimchi Pickles can be enjoyed straight out of the container or added to sandwiches, grain bowls, pizza, or virtually any other dish. The product serves as a great introduction to "kimchi-curious" consumers who are looking to try a kimchi-flavored product with a more approachable, familiar format.
As the company explained in a press release, Kimchi has been a growing food trend in the United States, with Cleveland Kitchen's Classic Kimchi item seeing impressive category growth (+70 percent) in the last six months. With gut health becoming an increasingly popular focus for consumers, fermented foods—such as pickles, kimchi, and sauerkraut—are seeing increased opportunities due to their natural probiotics and prebiotics.
