Imagine creating food that works while you sleep.  That is exactly what good bacteria does during the process of fermentation.  During these hands-on classes, we'll talk about the benefits, safety, and the storage of fermented foods.

Section 1:  Fermented Pickles -  A regular pickle is made with vinegar and then pasteurized, which means no bacteria and no particular health benefit.
A fermented pickle, on the other hand, is full of probiotics; specifically, lacto-fermented bacteria. Fermentation preserves beneficial vitamins, microelements, and good bacteria. Learn the easy, centuries-old method to make fermented pickles!
