Wonder is anyone has joined the fermentation addiction? It is fascinating, healthy and really fun.
I'm fermenting all types of vegetables, several fruits and making some really healthy wonderful drinks.
I don't use any whey in my fermentation; it's all salt, filtered water and in some of them, spices.
It's a great way to preserve your veggies!
It's amazing what some of this stuff does for you. I used to be lactose intolerant and now I'm not. I can eat cheese for the first time in years and years. I haven't tried ice cream yet.. who knows.
What have you tried? Recipes? Results? |

Absolutely yes! I'm using some of the recipes from nourishedkitchen.com So far, sauerkraut, kefir, kombucha and pickled radishes. I love it!

Hi Bart,
I LOVE fermenting veggies! I was introduced to Nourishing Traditions a few years ago and I have never looked back. It just makes so much sense to me. We have 6 in our family and 4 of us have had challenges with food sensitivities. After trying to eliminate challenges from our diets - hard when everyone is sensitive to something different - the thought came to me that, if we strengthen our digestive systems while making the food easier to digest, we could cut down on our sensitivities.
Ever since then a staple in our diets has been pickled peppers - I've done them with and without whey until I could tell if the whey bothered my one son. I love processing them (well, that's not my favorite part - all the chopping and roasting), putting them in jars and letting them do their stuff for 3 days! I've also done cabbage/sauerkraut, gingered carrots and cucumbers/pickles.
I feel like these foods have been a blessing to our bodies. I try to include them at lunch and dinner; I even use the 'juice' from jars to make our 4 year old's ground up food more digestible. Love it, love it, love it!
Sometimes when we open the jars they fizz over the sides - occasionally there is a mild explosion. We always joke that its not every house that has to protect their eyes when opening their veggies :-).
Great post, thanks!
