For an average four-person family, a minimum 350kg of cabbages and 200kg of radishes are required during kimjang. A winter’s supply of the fermented cabbage dish also requires 3kg of garlic and 18kg of salt.<p>350kg&#x2F;4people = 87.5kg&#x2F;person
87.5kg&#x2F;person &#x2F; (0.25*365days in a season) = 0.96kg&#x2F;person per day<p>That&#x27;s actually quite a lot (granted I&#x27;m assuming the &quot;season&quot; is 1&#x2F;4 of a year, and at that latitude it could be longer).<p>For the hell of it, that 200kg of radishes is another 0.55kg&#x2F;person per day.  ~3 pounds of low-caloric food per day might be plenty.
