Fermenting Your Foods in a Clear Glass Jar!

Joe Nowell at The Fresh Pharmacy, a Natural Medicine Compounding Pharmacy in Lenoir City writes about Fermenting Your Foods for healthy bacteria, balancing your immune system, and absorbing your nutrients properly.

Foods that are fermented are living foods and very good for you. Fermented foods introduce healthy microbes into your diet and help the body function properly.

Some popular fermented foods already on your kitchen table:
Sauer Kraut
Pickles
Salsa
Mustard
Ketchup
Hummus
If you want to try this, just make sure you properly ferment your foods so healthy bacteria and yeast grow and the healthy ones grow faster and keep the unhealthy bacteria from multiplying.


Some tips for fermenting:
1. Use clean containers and utensils
2. Prepare the food and remove spoiled parts or other signs of decay THE KEY IS FRESH FOOD
3. Pack with no air, or submerge the food in salt brine
4. Solid foods that do not have a liquid above them, make sure they are closed fermented with an airlock system if possible
5. Don’t forget the food will expand so leave room in the jar
6. During the first initial formation time, make sure the food stays UNDER the liquid brine always
7. Leave it Be! Don’t mess with it, allow 3-5 days for it to ferment
8. After it’s reached fermentation then it can be repacked into a clean storage container with a tight lid
