How to Ferment Eggs

[@rhondajoyner7083]

I make pickled eggs in saved pepperoncini juice in a mason jar for 3-7 days in fridge. I add cracked red pepper flakes for spice. Yum!

[@RainCountryHomestead]

That sounds really good!

[@ladyela9283]

I am so late to the "party", so-to-speak. I have recently developed an "addiction" to all things natural, so I'm just now seeing this video. That sounds like a great idea!

[@RRaucina]

what in hell is pepperoni juice?

[@Lilmissbaker3173]

I want to ferment some eggs now, you have inspired me, I made my first fermented ( well not true, I make Kombucha and have been for 30 plus years as well as many varieties of sourdough but first fermented food which was cabbage with fresh ginger…Yummy. Going to check out your fermenting starter then I will ferment some eggs after my starter is established. Thank you for all your informative videos….

[@ladyela9283]

I LOVE eggs - such a complete food, praise God!!! I'm wondering if there is a difference between pickled and fermented. I don't know what's come over me, but this (learn, and learn, and learn about natural ways to heal and preserve food) has just taken over me the last few days...WOW

[@addisonstar141]

Yes, there’s a difference between picked & fermented. Picking is soaking in an acid brine (like vinegar), whereas fermentation is a chemical reaction with the sugar in the food. That’s why its super important to make sure whatever you’re fermenting is always completely submerged in the liquid.

[@RRaucina]

Now I buy Redmond #10 animal salt. 50 pounds for like $22 at feed stores. Perfect for pickling or grinding finer, just more grit in it.

[@questionasker1749]

Im into this fermentation. I LOVE hard boiled eggs too! Thank you!🌿🕊🌿🕊🌿🕊💚💚💚🌿🕊🌿

[@TeeFlory]

I have not gotten picled or fermented food passed my nose to taste them I think I will ferment something that I like to eat salted first, I am not sure yet. Thank you for sharing Heidi. Every video you do is packed with tid-bits of information. I know what I need to research, which saves me so much time. Love and prayers❤🖒

The smell does play a big part so I get that! Thank you Tee, hope you are doing well sweet lady!

I bought some small check valves for aquariums. Drilled a hole in the plastic top and glued the check valve on, making sure air can release and not enter. Way cheaper than all those specialized stuff

[@owezone4804]

i've been using pink himilayan salt for 4 yrs now, i was in the hospital recouping and asked my niece to bring me some salt from the store, so she brought me a popular white table salt... i was shocked when i used it ... i could actually taste sugar in it!!

[@RainCountryHomestead]

Werid!

[@lindaspade1540]

Well, I have had red beet pickled eggs and mustard pickled eggs, but none fermented like this. I'll have to try a couple and see if I like them. I'm going to start to ferment a jar of red beets tomorrow and now I'm starting to wonder if I could use my fermented red beets and juice to make fermented eggs? Make them the same as the red beet pickled eggs, just keep out the vinegar and use the fermented juice in its place? What do you think?

I love Redmond mineral salt too, but realize that 90% of what they mine goes into road salt or industrial chemical making! Like dollars per TON. Thus the table salt they sell is crazy high.

[@cristinamacias4079]

Today I am going to have for lunch my first fermented eggs! Can I use the brine as a sarter for my next batch of fermented eggs?

[@RainCountryHomestead]

I don't see why not but if it were me, I would still add a bit of my fermentation starter just to make sure :)

[@angryoldman9140]

I’m happy that you found success with the honey. I can’t eat sugar, my Crohn’s disease will kill me if I do. It hurts me so very bad and inflames my colon. This is why I only use maple syrup honey and coconut sugar. I wonder if coconut sugar would work?!! Hm!

[@RainCountryHomestead]

Coconut sugar is not recommended because of its high mineral content, it can slow or even stop the fermentation process.

[@angryoldman9140]

Rain Country thanks for the reply... hope you don’t mind but I will have a few more questions for you on your videos, you are very knowledgeable!! I really appreciate your videos so much. I watch them when I do dishes and I have learned a lot from you. I make herbal medicine and am studying herbalism. Your fermentation videos are extremely useful!! I feel like I am right there with you! I really love your videos. Sorry I keep saying that but they are a valuable resource! Wish more people knew about your channel! You definitely deserve more subs!

[@Hanhamblue]

Hello Hiedi. I have fermented some eggs and while they are good to eat they, are starting to fall apart in the jar or, disintegrate which, I understand is caused by the water. Do you know of any way to prevent this from happening or, is it just that, I have fermented too many at once and/or, storing them for too long? any advice or, tips would be appreciated. Regards Adrian.

[@RainCountryHomestead]

I have not really had this happen but that could be because I do not do a ton at a time and usually work through them within a week, two tops

[@50shadesofgreen]

[@jamestriplett790]

When the eggs are all eaten, what is done with the liquid? Does it go to the chickens, compost pile, or reused/refreshed with added ferment and salt? thanks

[@RainCountryHomestead]

I compost it but I had not thought of adding it to the chicken's water, that would be a good idea since I usually add homemade vinegar to their water anyway

[@karenhorn6685]

I love your work!! Thank you!!

[@RainCountryHomestead]

[@Tuner9069]

The majority of the nutrition found in dates is in the pit. You can add 1 tbsp of date pits in powder form to a beverage like coffee to give you a nutritional boost. But as with all nutrients, consume everything in moderation. Dates have ALOT of potassium. There's a video on KZbin that explains how to properly turn date pits into powder form. Essentially you clean the date off and then let the dates dry in the sun (don't use an oven, microwave, dehydrator, etc---you'll lose the nutrients), lay them on a surface that won't cook them in the sun, once they lack any moisture grind them into a powder using a mortar and pestal. Good luck

Fermenting is a form of pickling, the oldest form actually :) Though I may try making some with my homemade vinegar down the road just to see how they turn out. I currently have a couple of batches going that I will mention in another video that I think will be quite good :D

The eggs that you fermented how long do they stay good in the refrigerator? I had another recipe that I tried with hot sauce and pure vinegar over them and they didn’t seem to last all that well. So I was curious to see how long these ones lasted in the fridge.

[@RainCountryHomestead]

I eat them within a couple of weeks so I cannot say for certain just how long they will last but should be similar to any other fermented food that can last for months. But then again eggs are different than vegetables and fruit

Do they have to be hard boiled, or can you use soft boiled eggs?

[@RainCountryHomestead]

I recommend hard boiled as the yolks can become pretty soft in fermenting

[@nwmonk3105]

Is a fermentation starter really necessary? From a purist standpoint wouldn't it be best to let the lacto-fermentation build on its own? Just curious.

[@RainCountryHomestead]

For most things, no, it is not necessary but I would never try to ferment eggs with out whey or the starter. The starter is to insure one gets a good ferment. Sometimes things can happen to prevent fermentation. I used to make kimchi for years with the traditional brine method, not starter whatsoever, and occasionally I had batches fail for whatever reason that I had to toss. It was so frustrating when that happened having to toss all that work and money. Since using the starter, I have never had a failed batch of anything

[@jamestriplett790]

Do you steam or boil the eggs? Got a special way to peel the shell off? thanks

[@rebeccaulloa7774]

Heidi I have a question about the fermentation starter. How long in the fridge will it last without feeding it? I forgot about mine. Maybe I should start over?

[@RainCountryHomestead]

How long has it been? They can sometimes go for a month or more, it just depends on how much sugar was in there in the first place. You will know if you need to start over if it is no longer bubbly at all and smells like vinegar. If it is still making some bubbles, even if only a small amount, you may be able to revive it, I have managed to do that before. However, as easy as it is to get another going, you may just want to start over.

[@kleineroteHex]

Just last night I happened to see my blueberry one still sitting out, must be 3 to 4 weeks and I think I fed it once during that time (no room in my fridge!) So I shook it up a bit and got bubbles galore, transferred it it a bigger jar, added water and sugar and it still sits out 😉 I am sure it will still be good for bread baking if it turns to vinegar!

[@RainCountryHomestead]

Right!

[@joybickerstaff194]

Hi ya Heidi! Ok, I’m a knucklehead! Scratch my question from other video on what vinegar flavor, (unless u came up with a better one u like other than apple) i should have remembered this video, maybe I have a memory problem Lol,cause I’ve watched this video a couple of times 🙄 Thank u

[@rossmail5924]

Once you've eaten the eggs do you discard the liquid or do something else with that?

[@RainCountryHomestead]

I am sure the liquid would be good for giving to pets, I usually add a lot of red pepper to mine these days so not sure my dogs would like it. I usually just toss mine. Another thing I just thought of is it might be good to pour at the base of trees and shrubs. That is what I do with a lot of excess whey. I give some to the dogs and put the rest on my fruit trees

[@RainCountryHomestead]

Fermenting is pickling, it is just he natural and old fashioned way of doing it and yes, it is more beneficial to you. If using the modern way to pickle, then I would suggest only using Bragg's ACV or homemade vinegar if your acidity is 5%. Do NOT use white vinegar as it is made from GMO corn. I hope this helps!

[@taramorell4275]

Rain Country thanks. I am going to try the whey from my kefir.

[@RainCountryHomestead]

perfect!

[@louf7178]

Rain Country I find this contradicting. As I've novicely gathered, pickling is where something is put in an acidic solution so bacteria doesn't (or is highly lessened) grow; a salt-water brine solution is a preservation method by which water is pulled out of the bacteria thus dehydrating and killing it; fermenting involves a process where sugars are converted to alcohol. I don't get the equality of fermenting and pickling unless definitions are being so generalized that they begin to lose they're useful meaning (and that is what the word "preservation" is meant for).

Because the amount of salt you are using is MUCH less than the amount of sugar added to ferments like vinegar, wine, and more so the mineral amount is very insignificant and will not hurt the ferment
