The Seoul to Beirut Box is a convenient gourmet food combo that works both for personal consumption and as a gift for food lovers. It contains two regular Mummy’s Magic jars sold together as a combo rather than a separately packaged gift hamper.
The name reflects the two culinary traditions represented in the box: Korean Kimchi from Seoul and Lebanese Pickled Vegetables inspired by the flavours of Beirut and the Middle East. Together, they offer two distinct approaches to bold, tangy, spicy and pickled flavours.
The box combines two different flavour profiles. Korean Kimchi is tangy, sour, spicy and umami-rich, while Lebanese Pickled Vegetables are tangy, mildly spiced and refreshing, with the flavour of beetroot, carrot, white radish and green chilli.
The Korean Kimchi has a medium level of spice. The Lebanese Pickled Vegetables are mild; their green chillies contribute flavour rather than significant heat. This makes the box suitable for people who enjoy flavourful pickled foods without wanting everything to be extremely hot.

The Lebanese Pickled Vegetables use a vinegar-based pickling process and also undergo fermentation. This gives them their distinctive tangy, pickled flavour.
Yes. Mummy’s Magic Korean Kimchi is naturally fermented. Because it is raw and unpasteurised, its flavour can continue to develop after it is packaged.
Mummy’s Magic Korean Kimchi is raw and unpasteurised. This means it has not been heat-treated after fermentation.
Because the Kimchi is naturally fermented and unpasteurised, it may contain live microorganisms associated with fermentation. However, we do not make a specific probiotic-count or therapeutic health claim for the product.
Yes. Naturally fermented Kimchi can become progressively more sour and complex as fermentation continues. This is a normal characteristic of fermented Kimchi rather than necessarily a sign that it has gone bad.

The unopened Korean Kimchi has a shelf life of approximately 4 months. After opening, we recommend consuming it within approximately 3 months, while keeping it refrigerated and properly stored.
Keep the Kimchi refrigerated and ensure the vegetables remain covered by the liquid. Always use a clean utensil when serving to help maintain quality.

We do not recommend freezing Mummy’s Magic Kimchi. Freezing and thawing can negatively affect the texture of the vegetables.

Mummy’s Magic Lebanese Pickled Vegetables contain beetroot, carrot, white radish, green chillies, distilled water, vinegar, salt, sugar and a mix of various spices.
The Lebanese Pickled Vegetables are mild. The green chillies contribute to their flavour profile but are not intended to make the pickle very hot.
They are tangy, mildly spiced and refreshing, with a characteristic vinegar-pickle flavour. Beetroot, carrot and white radish provide different flavours and textures in every bite.
Their texture ranges from moderately crunchy to soft, depending on the vegetable. The combination of beetroot, carrot and white radish gives the pickle varied textures rather than one uniform crunch.
Yes. They can be eaten directly from the jar as a pickle, condiment or side dish, without any preparation.
They work particularly well with shawarma, sandwiches, burgers, salads and chaats. Their tangy flavour can also add acidity and contrast to rich, savoury foods.

Some colour transfer into the brine is natural because the pickle contains beetroot. Changes in colour should be considered alongside other signs of quality such as smell, mould and texture.
Discard the product if you notice mould, an unusually unpleasant or bad odour, or an abnormal slimy texture. When in doubt, it is safer not to consume the product.
