Be Cultured - Fermentation 101
Fermentation occurs when bacteria feed on the carbohydrates of fresh fruit, vegetable or grain, and then creates lactic acid. This process creates a more nutritious and digestible form of food, which is why it’s oh so good for your gut! The centuries-old process can prove difficult to master, but this class will teach you tips on how to develop only the good bacteria, how to find the right produce and time frames for your fermentations. Learn to make a sourdough starter, ginger beer, yoghurt, kombucha and more.
