bring a vegetarian/vegan dish to share with the tribe. Organic, local and
vegetarian dishes are encouraged.
This workshop will empower you, with hands on experience, to make your own fermented healthy foods at
home which require no electricity and no refrigeration. We will explore the
process of this ancient art, the many ways of flavoring with spices and how to
easily incorporate fermented foods into your diet.
Everyone will leave with their own jar of
delicious, nourishing fermented veggies, as well as the knowledge to properly
store and care for them, and of course how to make lots more!
More:
Fermentation of vegetables and plant matter is an ancient alchemical practice
of breaking down plant cells in salt water to extract the highest form of
nutrients and nourish the body with an abundance of vitamins, minerals, and
probiotics. In this day where germaphobia is so prevalent, most of our food is
pasteurized to no end. Thus we are losing culture, and culturing practice. This
makes finding truly fermented foods rare and expensive. Fortunately it is easy,
safe and inexpensive to make fermented foods at home.
