Watermelon Rind Kimchi

Crunchy, tangy, savory, and seriously clever, Sapling Farms’ Watermelon Rind Kimchi turns a part of the fruit most people toss aside into something bold, bright, and completely craveable.

Made in small batches using certified USDA organic watermelon grown on their farm in Sanger, TX, this kimchi gives watermelon rind a second life. The rind stays pleasantly crisp while soaking up all that fermented, spicy, garlicky flavor, creating a condiment that is fresh, punchy, and unlike anything else in your fridge.

Spoon it onto rice bowls, tacos, burgers, sandwiches, eggs, grilled meats, noodles, or grain bowls. Serve it alongside a snack plate, chop it into fried rice, or eat it straight from the jar when you need something crunchy and tangy.

What makes it special

Watermelon rind is naturally firm and crisp, which makes it perfect for fermenting. Instead of letting it go to waste, Sapling Farms transforms it into a flavorful, farm-grown kimchi with plenty of texture and bite.

It is creative, low-waste, locally grown, and honestly just really cool.
