-the many benefits these foods have to offer us.
-supporting gut health through fermented foods
-why a healthy gut is so important for so many reasons
-ideal ratio of salt/water/veg for lacto-fermenting
-fermentation vs pickling
-troubleshooting when your ferment doesnt go so well
What is included:
-Expert knowledge and instruction
-Fermentation weights and jars
-Fresh ingredients to create ferments
-Samples of fermented foods
Please bring:
-knife and small cutting board to prepare your ferments
-A water bottle

This will be hands on as we each prepare our own 500ml jar of lacto-fermented carrots using a salt brine method as well as make sauerkraut together and fill a 1 liter jar to take home and enjoy.
