Join me on a journey through the world of fermented vegetables!
Lacto-fermentation is one of the most important food processing technologies our ancestors ever created! Not only does it have the power to make plants safer and more nutritious, but it also enhances the flavor, aroma and texture of our food. Just think about the difference between raw cabbage and delicious, probiotic sauerkraut.
This class will cover the basics of lacto-fermentation including:
Sourcing high-quality ingredients and essential fermentation equipment for your kitchen,
The basics of lacto-fermented vegetables,
Recipe development and execution,
Prepping vegetables, scaling ingredients, initiating and controlling fermentation,
