For years I have used Iodine as a "preservative" in food. All from double cream to taco sauces keeps for weeks and months with a drop or two of Lugols in it.
Lately, fermented (raw) cabbage; yes it does ferment even with a big load of Lugols in it. Picled red beets. Sourdough rye bread, jam an jellies, chili paste etc.
No sign of mould or unwanted bacteria. Easy way to fortify ones family with iodine.- Re: iodine preservative azurefields

Hi Ginagirl,
I just made my first batch of sauer kraut last weekend. I haven't tried it yet. I went along with the recipe that said canning salt (no iodinized salt) but I was thinking of trying it with iodinized salt to see if it will ferment anyway. Good information.
Also, I make my own yogurt. I did an experiment where I used my various concentrations of Iodine in the milk and sure enough I made the yogurt and it kept for a very long time!
I'm wondering if I were to put a drop or two in my milk carton if it would keep my milk a bit longer too.

This is a reply to # 2,285,666Yes, the milk keep longer with Iodine in it. I dont use milk much, ;the little I buy, I keep for a month or even two. But just a small drop per liter, if more it may taste iodine.
Sour kraut is easy, it will keep for a long time if done the old fashion way by cooking and sterilizing everything.
The fermented cabbage is not cooked, so it is a challenge. With vinegar, sugar, salt, iodine; it fermented without me having to check the batch up every day. 2-3 days on the bathroom floor, then off to a cooler area for 10 days. Then refrigerated it.

This is a reply to # 2,285,693I think the only food I have with Iodine in it is Nutriment, its a vitamin shake.
I also eat some seafood with a lot of Iodine. - Re: iodine preservative b3nault

This is a reply to # 2,285,693Fermented cabbage with vinegar?
I've only done it with Sea Salt and the juices released from the cabbage itself. I rip through it so fast tho, it never has time to go bad. :)- Re: iodine preservative Ginagirl

Yes, this is the original way of doing it. For me, maybe I am lazy or have a way too busy schedule I chose the vinegar / Sugar / salt / Iodine way. This way I could adjust the taste after it is done. Lovely way to use cabbage, raw.
