Re: Ferment Veggies with Soil Based Bacteria - Powerful!
yes that is the product i bought actually, then i lost the link, thanks for posting that.
i just have no patience for a traditional crock! six weeks? dang! just cant wait that long, haha!
in a traditional crock the veggies are more thoroughly fermented, and are a bit softer. but the ease and quickness of the jar make it a good fit for me. yes, i do use salt but only for flavoring, its not necessary to add salt if you use a starter culture.
just remember to fill the jar nearly all the way to the top, but not 100%. the fermenting process releases juices so if you fill it all the way up the juices overflow out the top. if you only fill the jar half way the process takes much longer due to oxygen being trapped in there.
for whatever reason it seems fermented veggies are more powerful at healing the digestive track than yogurt.
