Eaten Alive

What's in the box: You choose your own jars of raw kimchi or sauerkraut, bottles of fermented hot sauce and pickles, and there is also a gut health bundle.

Eaten Alive is a London fermentation brand that sells fresh kimchi, sauerkraut, fermented hot sauces and pickles. It describes everything as vegan and made with natural ingredients. The kimchi is never pasteurised, so it stays raw and live. There are several kimchi styles, including classic, mild and white cabbage versions, plus a larger jar of the classic. Alongside these you'll find krauts such as a smoky pink variety, a smoked sriracha hot sauce, preserved lemon with yuzu and fresh pickled cucumbers. There is also a gut health bundle and a gifts section. If you specifically want a recurring box, be aware that the site does not say it offers a subscription plan. It works mainly as an online shop where you choose your own jars and bottles. Kombucha isn't part of the range shown either, so this suits people who want fermented foods rather than fermented drinks. Delivery is free on orders of £50 or more, so it makes more sense to buy several jars at once than one at a time. Customer feedback on the site is mostly positive. A few buyers mention jars leaking in transit and messages going unanswered, so keep that in mind before placing a large order. If you eat kimchi or kraut regularly, this is a credible small producer worth trying.
