How to ferment your food

January 21, 2016 by Ulla

Wash, peel and grate the veggies. Rinse and chop herbs.

Mix together then put in glass or ceramic jar. The food must be covered in liquid. If there is not enough liquid from veggies, add water. Put ingredients under pressure (you can sit a glass jar with water on top of the veggies in the glass or ceramic jar) and make sure they are covered by liquid or they will go mouldy or rotten. If the food goes mouldy scoop it off. If it goes rotten place it in the compost heap. Energy is never wasted. Keep the jar at room temperature until the fermenting is finished after that keep in fridge. Eat as condiment every day.

Please note that you do not need to add salt as this is not necessary for the fermentation to take place. If you prefer to use salt use only very little as I find that salt will kill the taste of the veggies being fermented. If you want to keep your fermented food for a long time you must add more salt. The more salt you add the longer it will take for the ingredients to ferment. We eat our fermented food quick smart.

We just love fermented veggies with different herbs. It is so exquisite and crunchy. It is great for your bacteria in your intestine system. A few headwords: powerful enzymes break down food into smaller components, easier to digest. Lactobacillus bacteria friendly micro-organisms. Remove toxins and bacteria in the intestines and inoculate the intestine with friendly bacteria.  Fermented foods have been used to protect the digestion system from infections. Here are some combinations to try out. Some of Peder’s recipes indicate what planet and element rules what food. Sorry for not being persistent. When I get time all recipes will have rulership added.
