Fermented Veggies

One huge challenge that someone with a corn allergy faces is trying to find a corn free probiotic.  So many with this allergy are trying to heal their guts and probiotics are a huge part of that.  To my knowledge there is no 100% corn free probiotic available.

So to get natural cultures without the worry of corn I started fermenting veggies for Kevin.  Fermentation of food has been used for hundreds of years and is a way to really make a happy gut.

Fermented Veggies

2  1 quart jars
4 cups water
2 tbsp. sea salt
chopped veggies to fill the jars
seasonings of choice

Layer the chopped veggies into the jars. Add your choice of seasonings.  Dissolve the salt in the water and our the water into the jars.  Close the jars and let sit in a dark space for 2-3 days.  On day three crack open the lids and allow some air to escape.  Do this every day for another 4-5 days.  Taste veggies - if you want them stronger then leave them to sit longer. 

Be sure to start off slow to let your stomach get used to the fermented foods!!
