Want to make fermenting easy? The Starter Kit from Fermentools can help!

Just one scoop of home-fermented goods is said to be packed with probiotics which can help immune systems, digestive systems, skin, and absorption of nutrients from other foods. That's a lot of punch for a little money and effort!

Our First Fermentools Experience

We've just finished making our first Citrus Hint Sauerkraut with a Starter Kit we were sent for review, and it was so easy.

Basically, I sliced some cabbage up thin.

Then, I peeled a clementine (because I did not have an organic orange) and sliced that thinly, too.

I added one tablespoon of the Himalayan  powdered salt that came with the kit to a cup of warm water to dissolve the salt, making a brine.

Then, I packed the cabbage and clementine into a jar.

I poured the brine over the mixture, topped off with a bit of water, dropped in the glass fermentation weight that came with the kit, topped the jar with a rubber gasket, stainless steel lid and rubber stopper that also came with the kit, popped on the plastic airlock, which I added some water to, and left the entire thing on my shelf.

Within 24 hours, I saw the first signs of the fermenting process occurring. Within 48 hours, I saw more bubbles forming. Then, over the course of a week, the bubbles became smaller and the cabbage color brightened a bit.

And, that is when we took the ferment out and taste-tested it.  My youngest loved it at first...

...but found the "juice" at the bottom of the jar particularly strong...

... yet kept eating more!

I liked the whole thing.

I also loved that the entire process was so much easier than the first time that we tried making sauerkraut after attending a workshop at a local farm. With Fermentools, there was no need for me to figure out brine formulas and none of us had to remember to "burp" the jar thanks to the airlock. Easy peasy and nutritious.  That's my kind of thing!

Looking Forward to More Ferments with This 100% American, Quality Kit that Supports a Fellow Homeschool Family!

I look forward to experimenting with more ferments using our handy Fermentools Starter Kit and encourage you to try it, too. It's easy and the results are nutritious!

Also, all Fermentools products are made and sourced in the Unites States of quality material:
