I received this complimentary product through the Homeschool Review Crew
Last year our family was able to start fermenting cabbage to make delicious sauerkraut for our dinners when we tried the starter kit from Fermentools, so you can imagine when we were given the opportunity to receive and review another amazing starter kit, we were thrilled. My kiddos love helping me in the process.
The company is passionate about helping families be able to ferment their own veggies and such. They also make sure each kit is made with quality and in the USA. They want your experience with them to be the best. Their kits are inexpensive and their site with recipes makes fermenting easy to do. I have been more than satisfied with their products and ease of use.
The Starter Kit includes:
1 Stainless Steel Lid
1 Glass Fermentation Weight
1 Air Lock.
1 Rubber Stopper
1 Rubber Canning Gasket
Himalayan Powdered Salt
Instruction Guide and Basic Sauerkraut recipe
Last time we made sauerkraut and it was delicious so this time around we wanted to try fermenting carrots. I followed the recipe on the site and we are just days away from trying them as it takes 4 weeks to ferment for the best taste. I know my husband is going to love them. Carrots are one of the few veggies he enjoys eating.
It was simple to do. First, we made our brine. We mixed 2 tbsp of the salt provided in the kit with a quart of water. We then washed our carrots and garlic. I only used half the garlic require in the recipe because it seemed like a lot for our family. After I placed the garlic in the bottom and the carrots on top of them we added our brine. We then put the glass fermentation weight on top of the carrots and assembled our top. You place the rubber gasket on first, then the stainless steel lid. You then add the original lid from your mason jar and screw it on tightly. We added the rubber stopper and airlock system. It is easy and doesn't take much time at all. You will find all the directions you need on the insert that arrives with your kit.
We placed our carrots in a dry sunless part of our pantry and are waiting patiently to eat them :)
The health benefits of these fermented veggies are incredible. I have been reading many books on the subject and I was just blown away. The greatest benefit is that they are rich in probiotic bacteria. It is so important to eat foods that aid our body in keeping healthy and happy. I know I want to eat more foods that keep me feeling well especially when we need extra immune support.
