Re: Re: cabbage juice tonic

[Guest guest]

It is hard to describe the smell. The taste is sour.

Fermented foods are very safe, and lactic acid (which is naturally occurring

in homemade fermented foods) is a preservative. There are a lot of articles

on the web about this.

I was like you when I first started fermenting, not sure. After a while you

just get to where you trust what you are making is safe, especially if you

are like me and love the taste.

When fermented foods go bad, you know it as they stink and in many cases you

will see a bacteria growing on top.
