Lacto-Fermented Foods

Yogurt, Pickled Garlic, Gingered Carrots, Kimchee, Beet Kvass, Buttermilk

So, I have been experimenting on making Lacto-fermented foods, and they are yummy! And of course very healthy. This is the second time I've made kimchee (Korean), and it just keeps getting better. I eat it plain, or add it to tuna fish sandwiches, or rice dishes. It smells really bad, but when I made Adam taste it he thought it was really good. The gingered carrots are good, they taste like ginger and carrots. :) I use the yogurt and buttermilk all the time. I didn't have any kefir, or I could have added it to my picture.  I take the beet kvass daily (or almost daily) with my vitamin regiment.  I add my trace minerals to it, since it is already salty. I give it to my kids too, with their cod-liver oil.  The pickled garlic are delicious, and we just eat them plain, (yes, they are half gone in the picture.)  This is a great way to get vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and lots of probiotics.  I just thought I would post this, and let you know how they are if you have been wanting to try them and haven't yet.
