Regarding kimchi

This is good information! It would not have occurred to me that longer fermentation could fix excessive saltiness. Can’t think of a way salt would actually decrease with fermentation/aging, so maybe the other flavors just develop enough to balance it? Anyway I appreciate this reply because I probably would have thrown out excessively salty kimchi otherwise, and now I know to just give it a chance to mature.
