How to Ferment ANY Vegetable | LACTO FERMENTATION GUIDE

Her baby looks so peaceful and in a state of bliss by sleeping next to her/his loving mother and not ever waking up while she talks. I love the way she explains everything and even says we really don't need all the bells and whistles in successful fermentations.

[@MidniteSon]

I love that swaddle!

I just put my first few jars under the counter to start. Oh my heavens it was so easy.

Many years ago (30), my mother & I made sauerkraut.. Recipe said to shred cabbage, add to qt jars & 1 tsp salt on top & add very warm water, put lids on loosely & let sit for 90 days. We had put newspaper down on top of my mothers island & she called me in the morning & said we have a mess....the liquid had soaked the papers & was running on the floor. Atfer the 90 days we started using it & I'll say it was the best sauerkraut I've ever had. We made about 30 jars of it so it was a big mess....lol Mary

[@tinkerdee5923]

I just made what we call mix pickles .. green beans, cabbage & corn .. add salt & hot water (not boiling) but hot .. I didn't have anything to weight my vegetables down .. I noticed that some has risen to the top .. I ask a friend of mine (who has been making these for years) if that was normal, she said yes .. I am so PRAYING that they turn out delicious & we don't get food poison ... I have been buying these mix pickles from the produce store (a local lady makes them & sells them to the produce people) they are quite pricey @ $8.99 quart .. but oh my word .. they are worth every red penny ... Thanks for sharing your story ...oh, we grew up eating these .. I sure do miss them good ole days ...

I made red cabbage sauerkraut last month and added red beets. It didn’t make its own brine like the green cabbage does, but just make your own and add. Adding fresh cloves of garlic made it insanely addictive. Sooo good!

[@anateal5601]

Great instruction, thanks. I am so glad I learned to cook and that I don’t have to depend on someone else. I especially love that little baby you have attached to you. Close to the food source and close to the beating heart.

There are weight charts available online (somewhere) for how much salt to add per pound of cabbage, etc, for anyone who has a kitchen scale and like precise measurements. 😁 If memory serves me correctly, I believe it is a 3% salt solution for most veggies. For example, if you are fermenting 2-lbs of cabbage, you would calculate the amount of salt needed for a 3% "solution" like this: first, convert the 2-lbs to either ounces or grams. So 32 ounces equals 2-lbs. Then, 32oz × .03 = .96oz of salt needed to sprinkle over your 2-lbs of shredded cabbage, which I would just round up to 1oz. Hope that makes sense! If you are a fan of crunching numbers and/or don't trust yourself with adding the correct amount, this is the method for you. 😊 But do look online for a weight chart before starting! Lisa, you have motivated me to go ferment some veggies! Several years ago, I fermented green peppers, cauliflower, and carrots and my little ones absolutely loved them. Dilly beans are AMAZING. And so is a fermented cranberry relish. You have inspired me to ferment some jalapenos and salsa - yum!

[@joannasmith4793]

Went back to this video from today's video vlog on homesteading and so thankful for the knowledge.

[@lyndamadrid-miller695]

Wow! You’re absolutely incredible! My Mother canned when I was a lil’ girl. There were 11 children in my family. She did come from a farm in Colorado then moved to San Francisco, Ca. So, my Mom was just incredible and I was made her clothes plus I always made sure we had nutritious fresh fruits and vegetables. Because she did come from the farm she had so many resources she brought that knowledge with her to be so resourceful! You’re a wonderful role model to some of the young people. God bless you and keep up the good work!🤗💪👏🏆🙏

[@TJ-kz1ul]

Lisa, I made the fermented salsa and it was amazing! My husband and I devoured it, my kids don't like tomatoes so they are missing out!! I now have 3 jars of salsa fermenting and I'm going to do carrots next. Thank you so much =)

I'm interested in your fermented salsa recipe. Could you share? TIA....

I’ve watched a few videos on fermentation over the years. (Was overwhelmed at one point and dropped it) … but yours is by far the most comprehensive and simplistic video at the same time. Thanks for sharing.

Honestly, I just click so I could see the baby!! cuteness

Bought some cabbages today so Im going to give this a try. My great aunt used to ferment cabbage in huge crocks. Such a fun thing to think about my relatives and this is how they survived.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

I agree!

[@ena2613]

Hey, in my country making pikles is something very very common, so here as a weight to keep your vegetable down we use fine branches of sour cherry in an x. Our most popular ones are small cucumbers named cornishon around here, or just any, add mustard seeds to The jar, 1 bay leaf, pepper seeds, garlic, dried dill flowers. U pour the salted water just The same and make sure everything is under water. Another great one is to combine cauliflower with slices of carrots.. and here often homemaker ladies make them look really pretty, which is not hard and quite fun to do with a bit older kids. Pickled cabbage is something that here is usually made whole in big plastic barrels that can Take 10 cabbages. But that makes it more difficult to handle. One of The reasons is that we use the cabbage leaves to make "sarma" which is a mixture of pork meat, Rice and condiments rolled in the pikled cabbage leaves. Enjoy making pickles everyone! 🥰

[@buddyandshana1022]

I have some ginger carrots fermenting on the counter. I used 2 Tbsp of real sea salt for the quart of water (non chlorinated.) I cut the carrots into sticks and shaved some fresh ginger in. They have been fermenting on the kitchen counter for 2.5 days. So far there is absolutely no foam or bubbling whatsoever. I tasted a carrot today, it was tender and pleasant to eat however it didn't have the fermented flavor. I know it could take days longer, but I'm afraid that by day 10 they'll be way to soft as they are very tender right now. Our house stays about 73F. I have been fermenting sauerkraut and cucumbers (pickles) for the last couple years, and they always turn out perfect. However, this summer I fermented cucumbers in one jar and tried to ferment green beans in another jar. Both on the same day. The cucumbers did it right, but the green beans never bubbled. They tasted fine but no bubbles, no foam, no fermented taste. They were left out for 10 days and still nothing. The cucumbers and green beans were home grown organic. The carrots are store bought, but uncleaned. I didn't know if tougher veggies fermented differently or not in regards to the amount of bubbles and foam that happens. Thanks in advance for any advice.

[@22ERICSHELLY]

I just found your channel! So excited to learn from you! I am new to fermenting. I have a few questions. 1. I have never had fermented foods that I know of. I might have had fermented garlic. What is the mildest food to start with to get used to the flavor? 2. I love pickled foods, does fermented food taste similar? 3. Do you put a regular lid on it when it's finished fermenting and put in the refrigerator? I live in South Louisiana and we do not have cellars. 4. Why do you have to pack the food so tight Thanks again! May Jesus continue to bless you and your family.

[@pisicacutecat4869]

I can answer a couple of your questions. Since the brine doesn't contain vinegar like the pickles you buy in the store it will have a milder flavor. I actually like fermented pickles better than the store bought. Fermented sauerkraut is really good too and not too strong of a flavor. You have to pack it in tight so the veggies stay below the liquid and everything will ferment. Hope that helps. 😊
