Fermented foods are good for us—providing us with better health and well-being. Why should we ferment our vegetables? Because fermented vegetables are preserved without heat and vinegar retaining their vitamins, enzymes and minerals. Some of the benefits of fermented foods are: aids digestion; nutrients are more readily available; helps to support the immune system and no chemical preservatives are needed.
In this day-long workshop, we will discuss and taste all sorts of fermented foods and beverages such as miso, kefir and kombucha. Each student will make summer kraut; a seasonal vegetable pickle using a salt brine; something spicy with chile peppers; and your own water kefir to take home. Get inspired and become a fermentista; it is fun and easy, not to mention healthy and delectable! Bring an apron, chef & paring knives, to-go mug or drinking jar, & a small cooler, box or sturdy basket to carry your jars home.
