Fermented Veggies (GF & DF)

Discover the joy of homemade fermented veggies – a deliciously easy way to enhance your meals while boosting your gut health. With just a few simple steps, you can transform ordinary vegetables into tangy, probiotic-rich delights.  

You can add it to salad or have it as a snack. My dogs love the crunch!

Ingredients

  • 2 tbs grated ginger
  • 2 cups peeled and cut carrots
  • 2 cups small cauliflower floweret
  • 2 cups Filtered water
  • 1 ½ tsp salt
  • 500ml Glass jar with cover

Directions

  1. Put all ginger at bottom of clean jar
  2. Start layering jar between carrots and cauliflower until jar is full. (Leave somme room at the top so you can cover all the veggies with water)
  3. Mix water and salt and add to jar ensuring all veggies are fully covered
  4. Push veggies down to make them tight
  5. Cover jar without tightening the lid and leave on counter for 10 days. (The water will go from clear to murky and it might spill over little, that’s all okay)
  6. After 10 days your veggies will be fermented and ready to eat. They should be crunchy and tangy
  7. Refrigerate up to a few months in a jar with a tight fitting lid
  8. Regularly check for any signs of spoilage, such as mold or slime, and discard any vegetables that appear to have spoiled
