This workshop will cover the basics of brine fermentation techniques for vegetables. Beginning with a brief history of fermentation, we will cover what fermentation is, how it works, reasons to ferment food, and finally, all about how to brine vegetables. Participants will prepare sauerkraut and kimchi to ferment at home, and taste test samples provided by Darcy.
