Any one ferment kale? I have TONS and need to do something with it,

Kale can be sliced thin and fermented just like sauerkraut.

LOL

Yeah. Serious homework

Good thing to hear about the kale. I bet you could even make Kale Kimchi

I made some with regular cabbage I got at the farmer's market and chiltepin peppers from the garden. Goooodddd stuff!

You can kraut all sorts of things. I knew some Polish farmers that krauted turnips every year. They sliced them into strips and krauted them like cabbage. They were really good. They used the large openings on a shredder to cut the strips.

I have a good supply of caraway seeds and hot peppers, so I can go either Korean or German on any of my veggies

 

[damummis]

WOW!!!!

Love the books.

I knew butter was better for you. YAY!

Just passing this along.. I was doing some research for something else and found this recipe for fermented lemons:

Does it really count as being fermented without vinegar or are the lemons playing the part?

That's a really interesting recipe for the lemons. Wifezilla would know better but I am wondering if it's the bacteria in the Fetta that causes the ferment.

I might have to try that one next spring.
