Discover how simple it is to turn cabbage and salt into a living food full of flavour and nutrition.
This live sauerkraut-making demonstration with Operation Fruit Rescue Edmonton (OFRE) introduces the art and science of traditional fermentation—a process that’s been preserving food and supporting gut health for centuries.
Unlike a hands-on workshop this session is a guided demonstration where you’ll watch every step of the process from preparing cabbage to packing jars. You’ll learn how fermentation works why it’s safe and how to recognize the signs of a healthy ferment.
Perfect for beginners this class is designed for anyone curious about how to make sauerkraut improve their gut health or explore food preservation using natural time-tested methods.
You’ll walk away understanding:
- The difference between fermentation and pickling
- The simple salt-to-cabbage ratio that always works
- How to flavour and store your sauerkraut safely
- What to do if your ferment doesn’t look “perfect”
Bring your questions—there’s time for Q&A after the demonstration and you’ll leave with the confidence to try making sauerkraut at home.
