Vietnamese do chua, done raw and sugar-free: shredded carrot and daikon with jalapeño, fermented in live kimchi brine.

The pickled carrot and daikon on a banh mi is usually quick-pickled in vinegar and sugar. This version is lacto-fermented instead. Organic carrots, daikon and sliced jalapeños are submerged in Wise Goat's vegan kimchi gut tonic, a brine already teeming with live Lactobacillus cultures, and left to sour naturally. It is raw and unpasteurized, so the cultures, lactic acid and enzymes are all still in the jar. The result is crunchy, tangy and spicy, with the ginger and garlic of kimchi in the background.

Who this is for

• You love banh mi and want the pickle without the sugar
• You want a probiotic food with crunch and heat for bowls and sandwiches
• You are looking for fermented foods beyond cabbage kraut
• You want a bright, cold topping for rich grilled meats and rice dishes

How to use

Pile it on banh mi sliders, pork or chicken rice bowls, tacos, spring rolls, or eat it straight from the jar. Add it cold, after cooking. Save the brine: it is loaded with probiotics and makes a good dressing base.
