How to Ferment Vegetables

Instructions

  • Clean your vegetables.
  • Weigh your vegetables, then multiply that number by the percentage of brine you want to make (1.5-5%)
  • Place veggies in jar.
  • Add salt.
  • Fill your jar with filtered water and shake gently to agitate the salt to start dissolving.
  • Place weight on vegetables, to keep them under the brine. (I use this.)
  • Place fermentation lid on jar. (I use this.)
  • Let sit for at least 3 days, at room temperature.
  • Taste daily. When it tastes the way you want, remove weight (or spring) and fermentation lid, add a high-gauge stainless steel lid that won't corrode from the brine, and place in fridge.
