David Kim or "Dave" as he likes to be called, is the creator and owner of Dave’s Gourmet Korean Food. A former acupuncturist, Dave had the idea that eating could not only provide nutrition, but could also heal the body by consuming foods that have medicinal properties. 

With that in mind, Dave created a full line of traditional Korean side dishes that have a special twist.  He has replaced the usual shellfish and seafood that is commonly used in Korean fare, with items like fermented Daikon Radishes that help eliminate the toxins accumulating in our fat cells and Korean Seaweed Salad loaded with Carotene for healthy skin and hair. 

Last year Dave introduced a line of organic salad dressings made from fermented fruit and honey and containing no oil and no refined sugar.
