- The most common 'pickle' found in Korean cuisine is 단무지, a bright yellow pickled radish that is a staple in kimbap and ramen.
- Unlike the English word 'pickles', which can be used in idioms like 'in a pickle', 피클 is used only literally to describe the food.
- While 피클 refers specifically to Western-style pickles, Koreans often use the word 장아찌 to describe a much broader category of traditional vegetables preserved in soy sauce or vinegar.
