I want to try fermented veggies this year and want to hear from others who have done it?


Thanks,

Chris

I sorta have. I did fermented mashed beans using kefir whey with some peppers and spices and it was out of this world. I only had to ferment it about 6 hours! Made the best dip I've ever had. When I do kimchi I just do it the traditional way though, never tried that one with whey.

Sounds really good!

Very good ideas!! I'm just beginning to make sauerkraut. Had to throw away two jars in the learning process. I had been wondering about adding a little kefir to get things rolling inside the jar. But it seems as if it might cause a whole different process to happen, different from normal sauerkraut fermentation. I'm interested in getting a variety of probiotics forming in different ways. Anybody know anything about whether the types of probiotics in sauerkraut would change by adding some kefir?

I think so. I think that the there are specific strains on cabbage leaves and it's mostly a bacterial ferment. Adding kefir would definitely be adding new strains to the ferment. Not sure how that plays out though!

Very good idea, I want to try.
