Excuse me, I have a question. I've had this jar of kimchi in my fridge for a while, and I'm not sure if it's still good. It smells a little off, and the color seems a bit darker than when I first bought it. Is there a way to tell if it's gone off? I've heard that kimchi can last for a long time, but I'm not sure how long is too long. Should I just throw it out? Or is there a way to salvage it? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you!

To prevent kimchi from spoiling, it is essential to store it in a cool, dark place with limited air exposure.
