Fermentation is one of the oldest methods of preservation, it has been used for centuries in Ancient cultures around the world to preserve foods. Save yourself loads of money by learning how to make simple ferments at home with no special equipment needed.
Want To Improve Your Gut Health and Boost Your Immunity?
Over the past decade or so fermented foods have become very popular and readily available in health food stores and supermarkets the world over. You probably also noticed that they come with a hefty price tag too. They are a challenge to product commercially, but to make them at home for yourself is easy and inexpensive.
The gut has been referred to in recent years as the second brain and, by striving to keep your gut in balance, you keeps the rest of your body, and mind, in good balance also. When our gut balance is off, we can feel it all over our bodies. One can feel lethargic and be more susceptible to illness.
The other bonus of fermentation is that you get to eat delicious foods that have been enjoyed by cultures around the world for centuries. You can make fermentation as easy or complex as you wish, but it’s always best to start with the foundational recipes and move on from there.
In this 2hr class I’ll take you through an array of my favourite fermented foods and beverages at the moment.
What you’ll learn…
Fruit Kvass
I’m so excited about this particular ferment! Long story short, I have recently gotten back into fermented drinks, and bought a bunch of pre-made ones. I was hugely disappointing, so I started brewing my own again. Drinks like kombucha, water kefir and ginger bug sodas take a long time and I wanted something faster. Enter Fruit Kvass. These are the easiest fermented drinks I have ever made, hugely versatile and they go super bubbly in just 3-4 days! If you enjoy fermented beverages, you’re gonna love these.
Mixed Veggie Krauts
You can make sauerkraut using such a wide selection of veggies, you need not limit yourself you just cabbage. Regardless of the veggies you choose, I’ll show you a very easy way to make kraut without the use of special tools or long periods of massaging the veggies to release their juices.
Fermented Salsa
I’ve always loved salsa, since I was a kiddo and visited my family in Arizona. They have the best salsa in that part of the USA! After getting into raw foods, I found out you can make a fermented salsa and it blew my mind. It’s so good, really simple to make AND I have found the perfect recipe for creating a thick, chunky salsa… none of this watery nonsense! Packed full of texture and flavour, it’s the best staple to keep in your fridge.
Pear Chutney
Fruit ferments are really fast due to the natural sugar content in the fruit itself, so that makes these ferments very easy to do. Sometimes, they ferment in 1 day! This pear chutney is my fave fruit chutney. It’s got brilliant flavour and retains a crispness from the pear. It’s great with nut cheeses and raw crackers 🙂
Mooli/Daikon Kimchi
I think at this point, we have all heard of and tried cabbage kimchi. A dish originating in Korea, it’s well loved the world over for it’s crunchy, sour taste and knock your head off spice. But it doesn’t have to knock your head off, that’s another benefit of making it yourself. You have total control over the spice and sourness of the ferment. The other thing that you have control over is the veggie you use, another traditional option for making kimchi is using mooli/daikon. This is a long white radish and it retain far more crunch than cabbage.
