Avoid food products containing ingredients that a third-grader cannot pronounce.

Feeding nine billion people in a truly sustainable way will be one of the greatest challenges our civilization has had to confront. It will require the imagination, determination and hard work of countless people from all over the world. There is no time to lose.
—Jonathan A. Foley, director of the Institute on the Environment, U of MN
The surest way to capture the flavors, colors, and textures of a culture is by using authentic products.

The most important habit you can develop is to taste as you are preparing something. Take a sample and taste it critically at different stages of the cooking, then correct the seasonings…
—Marion Cunningham, from Learning to Cook
Plant a vegetable garden if you have the space, a window box if you don’t.

Strong Hands + Patience: Recipes for Home Fermenting
**Update! You know what you could do with this? Make Szegediner Gulasch (German Sauerkraut Beef Gulash) – it’s a tad on the spicy side, but very very tasty! I served mine over roasted potatoes and topped with sour cream. YUM!
Don’t be intimidated by home fermenting, it is surprisingly and refreshingly simple. I’m no expert, but I have successfully produced kombucha (shoot me a note if you’re local and would like a scoby mother to start your own kombucha), apple cider vinegar (I also have a vinegar mother if you’re interested), and most recently, sauerkraut. Fermented foods are nutritious and delicious – what’s not to love?!
Health benefits of fermented foods:
The microbial world inside our bodies, referred to as our microbiome, is credited/blamed for our digestion/struggle to digest, moods, satiety/cravings, immune system, etc. You can see why it’s important to ensure your microbiome is well cared for. The probiotics found in fermented foods support the proliferation of the healthy bacteria in our microbiomes.

Things to know about home fermenting:
- Watch out for mold and visible fuzz – mold is bad. Use fermentation weights (a glass jar filled with water also works) to keep solids under the water. Fermenting is an anaerobic process, and air facilitates mold growth.
- Don’t fret if it gets a white film – it’s a natural yeast byproduct of the ferment. Simply spoon it off the top and you’re good to go.
- Strong smell is OK and expected – don’t worry, the unpleasant and pungent stink will inform you if a batch goes bad.
- Vegetables should maintain vibrancy – it is a sign of spoiled vegetables if they get slimy, brown, and discolored.
- Fermentation duration varies depending on temperature – the colder it is, the longer it will take.

Make your own kraut:
What you’ll need:
- 1 Large/2 small heads of red or green cabbage
- 2 Tbsp sea salt
- Fermenting vessel; either a Large glass jar with a lid (ask your local bartender to save you a giant olive jar) or use a fermentation crock (I use this one)
- Fermentation weights (you can use a glass jar filled with water – be sure it fits through the top of your fermentation vessel)
- Optional extras: caraway, apple, carrot, onion, and/or garlic
Thinly slice the cabbage and optional add-ins. I like to do this with the slicing blade of my food processor. Put shredded cabbage into a large bowl with the sea salt. Depending on how much you make, you may need to do this in batches.
Pre and post mashed cabbage. Be patient, it takes time and strong hands to break the cabbage down.
Mash the cabbage for ~10 minutes with a potato masher, muddler, or your hands. I prefer starting with the potato masher to get the process started, then use my hands – it’s a serious finger exercise. The cabbage will break down and release water. If there is not enough cabbage water to fully cover your cabbage, top with filtered water until it is all covered.
Weigh down cabbage and cover vessel. If using a fermentation crock, be sure to keep the water lip filled to avoid exposing your ferment to oxygen. If using a jar, either seal tightly and burp daily to release pressure, or cover with a coffee filter or cloth napkin secured with a rubber band. Ferment at least two weeks, tasting each week until desired flavor and texture has been reached.
Have your own fermenting success stories, requests, or ideas? Please share in comments below!
Until next time,

Will try this at our new house!
Can’t wait to hear how it turns out.
Also, thanks for catching my EMBARRASSING typo…I have since corrected my spelling error!
I’m surprised there’s no vinegar or sugar!
I can’t wait to try it 😊
I’m pretty sure most conventional pickles and ferments are “flash pickled” with vinegar and not actually aged. The salt helps to preserve the veggies. Some folks get real technical with the vegetable to salt ratio (weighing by the gram, etc), but I found mine worked well with flexible measurements. However, mine fermented for ~6 weeks, so perhaps it would have been faster if I was more calculated.
