This really caught my interest as I currently use “Culturelle” and other such pro-biotics and add them to our food and drinks. Your methods are sure to save alot of money. There’s a great article from Today’s Parent Magazine on feeding bacteria to kids called “Bacteria for Breakfast” that you might like. I’d also like to recommend Gina’s post on “Make It Yourself: Kefir” over at Home Joys http://homejoys.blogspot.com. She has many great “from scratch” recipes on her site.

What a great post! Fermented foods were actually something I jumped on board with quickly when I first read Nourishing Traditions. I have always enjoyed kitchen concoctions and am not feeding children so it wasn’t too hard to get going.

You and your readers should check out my blog for my pickle tutorial (spicy carrot pickles!!) and also my Kraut 101 tutorial from February.

Thanks for the great post! I look forward to reading about you kombucha!

Perfect timing for me – I’m waiting on my bounty from the garden to make pickles, etc.

I’ve been successful with kombucha and sourdough bread – it has been very rewarding, and I’m a newbie to all of this.

Looking forward…

thank you, thank you, thank you. I’ve been wanting to do fermented foods, but like you said have felt a bit overwhelmed by it. I look forward to your posts!

I’ve had success in the past few weeks with saurkraut and kefir. I sliced up some cucumbers for lacto fermentation and they turned to mush. I gave them to the chickens. Now I am trying whole baby cukes. Hopefully these work out. Any idea why I got mushy sliced cucumbers?
