Fermented Food Adventures & Recipes
It’s interesting that the big-name brands of sauerkraut you find in mainstream supermarkets are never purple. These brands aren’t normally fermented, but rather are vinegar brined. Even when they are fermented (or at least saltwater brined), they’re later pasteurized and consequently lose all their healthy probiotic activity and become mushy […]
Honey ferments are almost too good to be true. Minimal risks of the ferment going bad. Easy and straightforward without any fancy equipment. And the flavors are just to die for whether eaten alone, added to fruit salad, used in dressings or marinades, in teas, topping ice cream and desserts. […]

This happens to be my favorite type of kimchi. The crunch is really satisfying whereas regular kimchi has more of a kraut consistency. Although I like it very hot, the radish itself has a subtle natural sweetness you don’t really find in the small, red radishes (originating in Europe) we […]
