This Week in Fermented Foods

I’m so excited to be talking about cultured foods every single day of the week over at the Cultures for Health blog. It involves two of my favorite things, after all – cultured foods and talking.

I thought I’d start a weekly feature here at Nourishing Days with a recap of the week’s topics. There you can follow along with my weekly food fermentation endeavors and hear from some other ladies who are teaching me a thing or two about fermentation.

Before we get to the highlights of this week I’d like to invite you to join the Weekly Cultured Gathering…

Maybe you eat cultured food because of the health benefits. Maybe you make it for the art and science involved. Maybe you believe that this age-old practice of souring dough, culturing dairy, brewing beverages, and fermenting vegetables is wonderfully sustainable. Maybe you feed them to your family because of all of the above.

Whatever draws you to the art of fermentation, The Weekly Cultured Gathering is a place where you can find others working towards the same goals as you are. It is a community.

You can join us every Saturday with links to your own cultured food blog posts or, if you don’t have a blog, let us know in the comments what you’re culturing this week.
