Although the yeolmu (young summer radish) has a small and thin taproot that does not have much use, its thick and abundant green leaves are constantly used throughout spring and summer to make yeolmu-kimchi. Yeolmu-kimchi is popular in the summer and is often eaten with cold noodles.{{cite web|title=Types of Kimchi|url=http://www.easykoreanfood.com/types-of-kimchi.html|publisher=Easy Korean Food Ltd|access-date=11 May 2013}}

Preparation

Withered and rugged leaves are removed from the yeolmu. The roots are washed and remain uncut, but the ends are trimmed. It is then sprinkled with salt water. Cut scallions, bell pepper, and mashed garlic and ginger are added.{{cite web|title=열무김치|url=http://terms.naver.com/entry.nhn?cid=2510&docId=1624573&mobile&categoryId=2521|publisher=NHN Corp.|access-date=13 May 2013}}

Health

Due to the softness and flavor of the leaves, they are the primary ingredients in many foods instead of its roots (the white radish). The leaves are alkaline in nature and are rich in fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, and low in calories. When picking out yeolmu, young, small and thin ones are recommended over the aged yeolmu, which tend to be thicker. It is recommended that yeolmu be eaten as soon as possible due to the fact that it withers quickly. Any leftovers are to be stored in the refrigerator.{{cite web|title=Young Radish|url=http://terms.naver.com/entry.nhn?cid=200000000&docId=1235404&mobile&categoryId=200000398|publisher=doopedia|access-date=17 May 2013}}
