Beet Kraut | Sweet And Sour For Beginners |

[@tristaperkins7112]

I'm so glad you mentioned being afraid to try any of it when you started out, because that's exactly what's been holding me back.

[@FermentedHomestead]

Its a big one! But you can overcome it! If it passes the tests it’s safe to consume

[@heathergeyer1780]

I was worried as well. Now I ferment everything lol. It’s addicting and tastes so good. Now if only I could master fermented pickles.

[@threewillowsfarm7779]

Me too but this recipe has got me🌿💛🌿

[@mackenzieshelleyleejohnsto9744]

@@FermentedHomesteadthank you Anna, THANK you!!!

[@rosemarybutt2608]

Like Anna, I have always enjoyed sour. And when I started fermenting veggies, I used my nose a lot. It really helped. There's a good sour smell. I like the way Anna encouraged folks who aren't found of sour to keep acclimating to it because of the gut microbiome is what sends out the "craving" signals... "More Priobiotics please"

[@babsgilbert518]

I absolutely love your videos. You explain things even I can understand. I definitely want to try this one. I like pickled beets, never thought of combining it with kraut. Thank you Anna. Pulled pork and this ferment sound like a winner to me. Love this collaboration 😊

[@FermentedHomestead]

It would be delicious on a pulled pork!

[@longarmsupplies]

You're such an excellent teacher. Clear, concise and light hearted all the same time. As for tasting...my hubby has an iron stomach and eats pretty much anything. He randomly saw my sourdough discard crackers on the counter the other day. My son and I snack on them regularly. He grabbed one, crunch, gagged and stood over the garbage can spitting it out. I nearly died laughing. Can't say I've seen him do that in over 35 years of marriage. I've started the starter with rye flour and it sure adds a different flavor.

[@tz5502]

Wow! Have pickled beets and never created a ferment. Thank you Anna for sharing this recipe and the Fermented February 2024 collaboration.

[@Bonniespckitchen]

You unlocked a childhood memory. This is what my grandfather loved to eat. I remember him eating beets. I remember grandma always cutting cabbage, but she never cooked cabbage. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and time with us!

[@sherryd112]

I love all the information you pack into your videos. You are the one that got me started on fermenting and I really enjoy it. And I'm no longer afraid to try it all! Thank you for the inspiration and for starting Fermented February. Looking forward to more fermenting videos.

[@FermentedHomestead]

I’m so glad you were able to get started! I think that can be the hardest part!

[@charleneputnam1217]

Hi Anna, I'm a newbie and learning so much from you and all the ladies in this collaboration. Thank you so much for sponsoring Fermented February 2024! Ohhh, and beets are one of my favorite vegetables!! YUM! ❤

[@junebush8684]

Anna, I have town water which IS chlorinated. Can I use my tap water for washing the beets, should I be washing my beets in water that has sat overnight or should I just use bottled water? Can I use rubber gloves for the massaging portion (just to protect my hand a bit)? I am so excited by all the recipes that I'm collecting through Fermented February! I do intend to try (almost) all of them. I'm very much a newbie when it comes to fermenting so I will be starting with small batches of things (the garlic and ALL the krauts jump to mind🤩) I've been watching your channel since Canuary of 2023. I love your energy and the fact that you keep it REAL if something doesn't work out the way you expected it to. I hope the ducks and the roosters are behaving themselves! Thank you for putting this together for all of us ❤❤❤

[@patriciamuggli5071]

I am really enjoying Fermented February! This kraut looks delicious 😋

[@marking-time-gardens]

Have never tried beet kraut but it is now on my to-do list! Yum! (Along with so many other great recipe ideas from this collab LOL!) Thank you Anna! Blessings on your day Kiddo! 🌻🐛Carolyn in Ohio 🌿

[@lindachandler2293]

Love ferments and loving Fermented February. A tip I was told, that works great, so I'm sharing. If there is a layer of kahm yeast starting up, gently lay a single layer of plastic wrap on it and pick it up. If some is left, use a new piece of plastic wrap and repeat until it's all picked up.

[@theorgelmeisterakathesoapm8589]

This is the best explanation I've seen, period. I'm an intermediate level fermenter and I've always heard not to shred your beets. I'm definitely going to try this. Thanks so much!!

[@brendaharpole7259]

Your videos are always very informative. Thank you for teaching and sponsoring this collaboration.

[@moniquekilmer7618]

Anna, you are a rock star to me. I think this is one that will be a regular rotation once done. Super easy. I just want to share how much your genuine honesty on your views and sharing of uses of your ferments that you do is so intriguing. So many don't share fears or mistakes. Being so honest about being afraid helps so many. I am newer to food fermenting to eat but have done wine and beer. I didn't much success before, so I am a restarting as a newbie. :) Things are now looking up. You and the others involved in your collaboration are inspiring me to just keep trying and learning. Wine and beer was that way for me to learn. Very scary, didn't want to waste and then, its done, then you have to try and use it. Thank you so much for bringing all these great people together to keep it easy to refresh ideas, learn and grow with confidence and be able to come back and re-watch and learn more.

[@carolhamilton5164]

You are so right when you say label, I’m always think I will remember and then the guessing game starts.

[@lindaquigley5611]

I always love to watch you when you show how to ferment things, You bring the steps and explanations down to a level that I can understand.. i could watch your channel all day long......Thank you for making Fermenting a thing not to be afraid of.

[@DonnaDuck-rj3xp]

Looks like fantastically messy ferment to try! I love beets and cabbage. It will be a beautiful ferment. Thanks for sharing.

[@cheryl121152]

My parents made and canned both pickled beets and sauerkraut. I never thought of combining these ingredients and fermenting them. But then, there are lots of things that I've never heard or thought about, like fermenting. Thanks for the godsend recipe ideas.

[@kshoe5004]

I just love the inspiration that I get from your fermentation 2024! Binge watching back on everything, cuz I don’t wanna to miss anything 😊 I am catching up while on vacation!

[@CarlynBosworth]

This looks delicious! I’m glad to hear about your fear too😁. Thank you for creating FF!

[@graysgram]

Tomorrow and I will up beets and cabbage from my farmer, and they will be my next ferment. I love beets in just about anything, so this one really floats my boat.

[@heidiw8406]

I am with you, the more complicated something is, the less likely I am to keep up with it. Thank you for the beet kraut video.

[@elainelucier6243]

Looks delicious. Definitely trying beet krout. Thanks for sharing.

[@threewillowsfarm7779]

Finally a recipe that completely inspires me to ferment. Have watched a million videos I'm just so frightened to try it I have no clue why . I guess I'm just fearful of abject failure. But this one got me off the couch it sounds amazing . Love the earrings girlfriend🌿💛🌿

[@beckybrown3291]

This recipe sounds amazing but just for the fun of it I think I'll add some celery and see what happens. Fermented February is the happiest time of the year! Blessings 💜🙏💜

[@dancnluc1]

I need to try this. I love making sauerkraut. I enjoy Beets. The combination sounds great. Thank you for this collaboration.

[@donnaharris4585]

Oh Girl, I felt so bad for you! I know I’m a colossal wus but I am certain my hubby would thoroughly enjoy your hot sauce recipe. Thanks for sharing. It was fun!

[@allonesame6467]

Love this!! My Polish grandma used to make fermented beet slaw but she did not write anything down and she's been gone since 1980. So thank you for reviving this recipe.

[@sbartles0101]

We love pickled beets, as well as just roasting them. This could be a fun different recipe for beets!

[@jenniferhranitzky2019]

Thank you for explaining about not removing all of the skin of the beet....Also, thank you for explaining the salt ratio......Math for yummier living

[@taylormartin3681]

Thank you for this great video and the time you spent educating us on how simple and not scary fermenting should be, it is greatly helpful to someone considering dipping their toes into the realm of fermentation. So thank you!!

[@joylouise5417]

Just received a couple of those airlock lids. Now I know how they work. Had not thought of putting beets and cabbage together. Very nice.

[@deborahharkins5275]

We love pickled beets. Both the sweet and sour kind. This looks like a combination of the two and sounds wonderful. Thank you for putting together this collaboration of fermenting videos. I so look forward to each of them.

[@koleasnow7720]

Thanks for posting a beet recipe. This is an absolute must try ferment!

[@nancyb7912]

I had a few of my homegrown beets left, and half a head of cabbage. Followed your recipe, and now I have a jar of beet kraut fermenting on my counter. Can't wait to try it in a couple of weeks. Thanks, Anna!

[@donnawitbrodt3138]

I love fermented February. The green cabbage and beet ferment sounds amazing. Thanks.

[@MomIrregardless]

i am watching, but i simply cant keep up with all these videos!! it's breaking my heart! heck, i cant keep up with the water kefir i started with!! still love watching YOURS Anna!! in particular! i actually UNDERSTOOD the salt ratio!!! you are genius!

[@jeannedumphy1517]

I am so excited to try this ferment. I am beginning to look like a scientist!! Thank you for all you do Ana.

[@christineayre796]

I absolutely love your videos!! You are a hoot!! I get my laugh time in your videos!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@debbiefockler9890]

I never thought to add cabbage to the beets. The beets I grow never get very big, so this is one way I can use them. I love sauerkraut and will be trying this when I get beets this year. Thank you so much for this recipe and for putting on this collaboration. Take care.

[@charlenejutras1595]

I am a newbie to fermentation, but I love beets and I love cabbage, so this looks like a good place to start. Thankyou for this video and this collaboration!

[@micheleturner2510]

I’m loving all these fermented videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us Anna.

[@vitalityhomeinstead1838]

Great explanation of packing your vessel! This is one I might have to try! Thanks.

[@KatrinaM1234]

You are an amazing teacher. Such a wealth of knowledge and knowing how to share it for the newbies.

[@cherylbaker6113]

I really like beets, this will be my next batch of Fermented February must do’s! Good morning Anna, thank you for this collaboration it has been so much fun as well as interesting 👏

[@FermentedHomestead]

You are so welcome! I love seeing all the new ideas too 😊

[@mistycherie]

Looks so delicious! Thank you for sharing this recipe with us, Anna! Lots of great information and you present it all very well and make fermenting truly accessible. 💚

[@debbiemusgrove676]

I’ve always loved pickled beets, but have never tried fermented. The color alone makes it very appealing to me.❤

[@maria_w311]

Hi Anna 👋🏻 Happy Fermented February 🥳 Can you imagine the bazillion good bacteria you are spreading with this collaboration? 🤩 Thank you! 💕

[@FermentedHomestead]

Fingers crossed!

[@mtnestrobin]

We like beets in this house and I’m looking forward to trying them fermented! I’m binge watching the collaboration to catch up. What great variety! Thanks for such an interesting collab!

[@FermentedHomestead]

Yay! I’m glad you found it in time!

[@azcvt1411]

Love this. Love that you included ways to use it and what not to do to ferments.

[@TheInquisitiveFarmwife]

Loving this year’s Fermented February! Lot’s of great inspiration! I am all about these beets!

[@jenniferhayes433]

This sweet and sour combo sounds like a party in my mouth! Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to making this ferment.

[@graysgram]

I just opened my beet kraut and tasted it. Oh. My. Goodness. I wanted to eat the whole quart. Definitely will make again.

[@maryderleth7860]

I'm so glad you added photos of things that can happen! I've had so many tell me I'm letting food spoil when it's out of the refrigerator it's fermenting. I can show them the difference here. I love beets any way I can get them!

[@FermentedHomestead]

I’m happy they were helpful!

[@shannon2776]

This is a fantastic video for beginners (like me), I appreciate your delivery and how thorough you are. Thank you!

[@JenB.188]

I don’t even like beets but you make me want to try this recipe! Thank you for sharing your story about learning to ferment. I haven’t succeeded yet but I’m not going to give up.

[@kimkearney5914]

I'm one who doesn't really know how to use the ferments, but really want to. This sounds like one that would taste good on everything! Now I have a great reason to grow beets!

[@FermentedHomestead]

Firm believer that the easiest way is the best wsy

[@KellyFontaine6916]

Fear is definitely a factor with me. I made sauerkraut, but really haven't eaten any other than a small taste at the end of the fermenting to check the flavor. It's really delicious, but it's been a bit of a personal struggle to actually consume it in a larger quantity. I love cabbage and beets. What a fabulous combination! Thank you for sharing!

[@tamimowes8342]

You made my saliva glands go crazy when you tasted it. Looks delicious. Thanks

[@lifeoflucretia]

Good Thursday morning, Anna. I hope u & yours are well. Thank you so much for learning these things so easy & interesting for us newbies! Have a beautiful day. LUCRETIA 🎉

[@FermentedHomestead]

Thank you! You too!

[@ronilagasse717]

Thank you so much for sharing your secret recipe with us! Now it's off to the store to buy some ingredients!

[@kathym7495]

I started fermenting last summer, now I am hooked on all things fermented!! Thank you so much for your wonderful instructive videos. 😁 One morning Hubby said, "Can I ask you a question?" "Sure", "Why were you boiling rocks yesterday?" He had a tone in his voice that was like, "should I call your doctor??!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I doubled over laughing, and said, "I'm not completely nuts, at least not yet!" I explained what I was doing and he just shook his head, rolled his eyes and walk away.

[@FermentedHomestead]

Oh my! I’m laughing so hard right now! 😂 that made my day to hear

[@pattigsbh4392]

Hi Anna! I was a little late with the videos but have loved and been inspired by catching up. Love meeting the channels as well. Thanks for the collaboration. I am in the process of fermenting carrots and Beet Kvass again. Hope to try some of the ones introduced this month. Blessings to you and Robert!!

[@joanbogart5348]

Thank you for doing Fermented February. Learning so much.

[@tammybowen2682]

I'm not too much on beets but my wife lives them, so this may make it onto our shelves shortly. Keep the videos coming we love them.

[@tamisalazar8365]

I enjoy all the tidbits you include in your videos. I like the geeky information 🙂 I like simple, less to go mess up.

[@marysidle5132]

I love the beet and cabbage idea! I usually use cabbage and apples, but I am definitely going to add beets next time around! GOD bless

[@robinsmith8299]

I love sauerkraut! I love pickled beets! I cannot wait to try this, I know it's gonna be great!!!

[@LillybugFarm]

This sounds amazing. I imagine adding a little chopped apple would have an amazing result. Thank you for sharing.

[@FermentedHomestead]

Welcome aboard!

[@stonesoupsubstitutions6946]

I'm having a hard time waiting even a week. You've convinced me to keep strong and wait another two weeks for my veggies I set up last Friday and Monday. Worth the wait. Ok. I can do that.

[@FermentedHomestead]

It’s definitely worth the wait in my opinion 😊

[@ajorgensen2334]

Thank you for giving us beginners so much great info and your insights. Fermented February is slowly making me confident to ferment.

[@FermentedHomestead]

Im glad it’s being helpful 😊 you can do it!

[@victoriaschell2225]

Never thought of fermenting beets and cabbage together. Looks delicious. Cant wait to try it.

[@dalelovett7401]

Thanks to you, I started two pints of kraut on 2 2 24. As of today I have just completed two more pints of the green and red cabbage. Thank you for showing how simple this is. Thus far no kind of spours to date, I do like the masontops kit. Great job on your site

[@rustymchale806]

I thought fermenting was too completed but you explained it so well that now I will try fermenting. Thank you.

[@FermentedHomestead]

Fermenting is super simple with a few steps

[@belieftransformation]

Sounds like a great combo ferment! When I have beets, I’m trying this one! Thanks for sharing & showing! 🤗🇨🇦

[@KelleenChopp-Lemay]

Hi Anna, thank you for this ferment. I love beets and enjoy finding extra ways of adding them to my meals. You are so informative and open. A really great teacher.

[@dversetto]

What I love most about your videos is that, along with a great recipe, you provide a ton of education and encouragement. The kraut sounds REALLY Yummy! I’ll definately try this one! ❤️

[@lindaquigley5611]

I always learn so much from watching you teach about fermenting....Thank you for sharing how to make this Beet Kraut. Even I didn't like the Kraut it is such a beautiful color it is worth making it just for that color. Looks good on the shelf. :)

[@flgirl6007]

I agree. Keep it simple. Love this and will definitely try it.

[@tammym110]

I love beets so what a great idea to add them to cabbage and the other ingredients. I am going to add this one to my other krauts I have started since this collab began.

[@kathylyon8509]

Ooh that sounds wonderful. I love the sweetness of beets and absolutely love cabbage. You are giving me a lot of new things to make. Thank you Anna.

[@FermentedHomestead]

Me too! It’s the perfect combo

[@ruthgossett7281]

Oh my..... this sounds wonderful, especially once you mentioned trying it on a pork chop. I am new, haven't tried fermenting and probably won't until we return to our home in April but I am taking notes and making lists on Amazon. I've enjoyed watching this collaboration and look forward to seeing the rest of the month. Thank you for sharing!!

[@heisgr8er669]

I'm working up the courage to make something fremented.😄 I have everything ready. It's just, I'm so nervous about it.😬 So, I thank you for these encouraging videos!😊 Hopefully, soon, I'll dive in. I really love the idea of using beets, I've not seen that yet.

[@susan-almosta_farm8823]

I love how detailed you are in explaining all the fermentation processes. Gives me so much confidence in trying different ferments. Doing more. Thank you and thank you for hosting this collaboration! I've enjoyed it so much!
