Instructions for my fermented stuff

[Guest guest]

Here is my website that shows the combinations I've made (there are maybe 2

posts):

It's really easy. Just wash some veggies really well. Decide what liquid you

want to put them in. You can juice some veggies and use that juice (and throw

the pulp in too). Water works. Chop up the veggies to the size you want. The

food processor helps if you like small shreds of veggies. Mix and match however

you like in a large bowl. Sprinkle in a pinch or two of sea salt (I like a

little for flavor). You can pour in the liquid now or wait until the veggies

are in the container and then pour in. I try to pack the veggies in the mason

jars first and then put the liquid in, all the way to the top of the jar. The

veggies are going to want to push their way up so I use a ziploc bag full of

water or just a ziploc bag folded up and placed on top to keep them under the

liquid. That's the key. Then put the lid on a leave out for 4-7 days and

transfer to a fridge. It's really simple. You have to learn to love sour foods

because these can get really sour and tangy.

have fermented/cultured veggies (low/no salt) my bowels are fine, but when I try

to introduce cooked veggies, I have problems. I realized this about a month

into doing SCD and wondered why I still had bowel trouble. Once I took the

cooked veggies/fruit out, everything was ok with just meat and cultured

veggies/fruits.

this is a good tutorial as well. some people add a " culture " to the mix that is

store-bought. i think you can add the powdered yogurt starter as well. you can

add whey too but I don't think that's scd legal. it's fine without these. the

culture just means more baceteria in there.
