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. 350kg/4people = 87.5kg/person
87.5kg/person / (0.25*365days in a season) = 0.96kg/person per day That's actually quite a lot (granted I'm assuming the "season" is 1/4 of a year, and at that latitude it could be longer). For the hell of it, that 200kg of radishes is another 0.55kg/person per day. ~3 pounds of low-caloric food per day might be plenty. |

That's not enough calories to sustain sedentary life in nice weather. It is, however, enough vitamin C to prevent scurvy, and enough of several other vitamins to keep you from other deficiencies. You still need 1-2 thousand calories from some other source.
