Ep 102. Don't Fear the Funk. A Beginner's Guide to Fermenting Vegetables

Fermenting your own food sounds intimidating—but trust me, it’s way easier than you think! In this episode, I’m breaking down the simple steps to get started with fermentation, even if you’ve never done it before. We’ll start with the easiest, most foolproof ferment (hello, sauerkraut!), move on to pickles (because you already know what they should taste like!), and then dive into some fun experiments like spicy jalapeños and fermented carrots. Plus, I’ll share some common fermentation mistakes and how to avoid them so you can feel confident in your fermenting journey.   Thanks for being here, friend. 💕Brittany Fermenting Supplies Sauerkraut Recipe   Loving my content?
