A week ago, I posted about my latest foray into lactofermentation. I abandoned the veggies in my guest bathroom tub for eight days before I transferred them to the refrigerator yesterday. Then, this afternoon, I opened them up for a taste test. Here are the results, from left to right:
Liver Lovin’ Veggies
My own creation, this blend turned [...]

Four New Cultured Vegetable Flavors
Posted in Cultured Veggies, Probiotics, tagged cultured vegetables, food, fermented vegetables, lactofermentation on September 2, 2008 | 2 Comments »
In a marathon kitchen session on Saturday, my dear friend Susan and I whipped up four new flavors of cultured vegetables and my first batch ever of homemade yogurt. I made the yogurt with raw goat milk, but I’m not too happy with it. The gelatin called for in the recipe gave the final product a very strange [...]

This is how the Garden-Style Cultured Vegetables with Dill turned out after fermentation. See how the red cabbage has stained everything pink? I love how they look in the light!
Here’s the “before” shot:
What a difference!
(And, believe me, it’s not just the lighting. Or photo editing either. I didn’t alter the colors in the photographs.)
Now I [...]

For my last batch of cultured vegetables, I decided to break out of the box and do some experimenting. I had prepared the basic Body Ecology recipe before (Version 2), as well as a delicious Marinara-Style recipe, but I wanted something new. I poked around online to see what the companies that sell cultured vegetables [...]

This post picks up exactly where Part 1 of the cultured veggie tutorial left off, so if you haven’t read the first post yet, start there.
10. Make your “brine.”
You have two options for this step. First, you can use handfuls of your shredded/sliced/chopped veggie mix. Alternatively, you can use a completely different vegetable. Either works well. [...]

If you’ve ever said to yourself, ”Culturing my own vegetables seems like a good idea, but I’m afraid to try it,” I’m here to help. When I first read The Body Ecology Diet and discovered how healthy cultured/fermented vegetables are, I wanted to make a batch right away. But let’s face it. For a modern American, leaving food out [...]

Clever girl that I am, I finally figured out how to access the marinara-style cultured veggie recipe again.
Ahem.
Actually, my cleverness has nothing to do with you now having access to this delicious recipe. My darling husband revealed to me the wonders of viewing a “cached” version of GoHealthGirl’s currently non-functioning blog. Exactly what “cached” means, I [...]

Now a whole month late, I’m finally posting a follow-up to my last cultured vegetable update. (If you don’t remember that one or if you never read it, go here.) Here’s how everything went.
As planned, I let them ferment for a full week at room temperature. I placed the jars in the guest bathroom’s bathtub [...]

After posting yesterday, I pulled out my food processor, mason jars, and beautiful fresh produce to try the marinara-style cultured vegetable recipe I found at GoHealthGirl’s blog. How the final product will taste, I don’t know, but it surely looks like it’s going to be delicious. The shredded beets and carrots are gorgeous, and I’m excited [...]

A while ago, I wrote that making cultured vegetables at home is one of the most economical ways to incorporate a wide variety of high-quality probiotics into your diet. I also promised to post about my personal experiences preparing and eating cultured veggies. Well, I finally followed through and prepared my first batch. I used [...]
