This is so awesome. I made some before but I didn't quite know what I was doing and it molded and I gave up. So, thank you for making me try again. I am on my second batch and it's SO good! I tried daikon radish, carrot, cabbage, garlic and cumin seed this time. It's like a little baby that I am nurturing on the counter. So Fun! Oh, I found you through Shivaya..

Thank you for totally demystifying this process for me!

I've been loving eating real, fermented foods (canned by friends or purchased at the coop) but I can tell deep inside me that making my own is in my VERY NEAR future. :)

Carrots sound perfect.

Blessings,
Stacy

Have you ever used whey to top the veggies? I'll try your way first, and then dabble a bit in that direction. Thanks!

thank you SO much for this.

i have been wanting for so long now to dabble in the world of fermented foods but i have been intimidated and overwhelmed by not knowing where to begin.

this feels like a perfect place!

We've spent the last 8 years in cities where fermented veggies are pretty much a staple and available in any fruit/veggie market. But I've never care much for the way they are seasoned (very bitter and/or very vinegary). I'm going to try this out at home!

I am anxious to see!

Thank you so much for sharing this. I grew up eating many cultured veggies, including beets, cabbage and watermelon (with rind). I make pickles using a similar method - just salt, pepercorns and garlic - no cooking. I will try the carrots - sounds yummy. And thank you for stopping by my blog - i'm glad i found your beautiful space here.

Thanks for the comment on my blog! I love how simple you make the fermenting process seem (I had always thought you needed eight heads of cabbage and a few 5-gallon pickle crocks!)...I read "Wild Fermentation" a while ago, but was a bit off-put by the "wipe away any surface mold" instruction...but you make this seem so simple and appealing, I will give it a try!

I had no idea you could ferment anything other than cabbage! Does your boy like fermented food? Looking forward to discovering what you're hiding in that bag:)

I think I'll do this tomorrow. My oldest LOVES kimchee and I know we have carrots and salt on hand. Thanks for the little tutorial.

This is relatively new to me too. We drink kefir and kombucha, but I haven't done anything with fermented veggies. Thanks for the introduction. What do you generally do with your fermented veggies?

Very interesting post, I have never heard of doing this, thanks for sharing. Also thanks for stopping by my blog! I had just read all about you over on Heather's blog, I was surprised when I saw it was you who commented on my blog. :)

This is new to me too. I've read a bit about it, but to be completely honest, I've been a bit afraid to try it. I am so glad to be learning more about it here. Thanks for sharing this. (We just used our new chopper thingy this weekend for the first time and my little guy loved it too!)

2010-01-10T15:27:00.050-05:00

This is a completely new idea to me. I am so intrigued! I'll be interested to follow your progress here.
