Extra Crunchy Fermented Pickles

Lacto-fermentation, or lactic acid fermentation, is a metabolic process in which sugars are converted by various bacteria into lactic acid and other metabolites. It is an anaerobic fermentation process that has been employed by various peoples for thousands of years around the world. Fermented foods are an excellent source of vitamins and may promote a healthy gut biome. We can use the same basic principles to ferment many different foods to create a variety of products.

Learn how to make extra-crunchy lacto-fermented pickles! We'll use knives and other kitchen tools to prepare the vegetables, and follow a few time-tested and honed recipes to craft these delicious and healthy fermented foods. Everyone gets two pints of pickles to take home.
