Ginger Carrots Recipe
Several years ago at a Weston A. Price conference, I had the pleasure of hearing Scott Grzybek of Zukay Live Foods speak about fermentation. His delightful demonstration on how to make ginger carrots was revelatory, as I had been spending a small fortune on them at the natural food store (no joke)!
They are one of my absolute favorite ferments: delicious as a snack for kids and beautiful on a crudité platter for guests.
This recipe can be used with broccoli and cauliflower as well.
Makes 1 quart
Ingredients:
- 4–6 carrots, peeled and cut into matchsticks
- 2inch piece of ginger or 2 cloves garlic, sliced very thin
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- Starter culture (2 tablespoons whey, juice from previous batch, or vegetable starter culture from Cultures for Health)
- Filtered water
Procedure:
- In a bowl, thoroughly mix the carrot sticks, ginger, salt, and starter culture.
- Place in a quart-sized mason jar, and fill with filtered water to the shoulder, about 1 inch from the top.
- Shake the jar a bit and make sure that the culture and salt are evenly distributed.
- Place on your counter, out of the sun, for 2 to 4 weeks. Store in the fridge.
