💖 Favorite Ferments: Kimchi – always, dairy kefir – best homemade but if not always organic, and torshi pickles.
💡 Fermentation Tip: Top tip is to keep salt-based ferments airtight and keep an eye on them if aging long periods and top up with salt and water and ensure you have some sort of covering over the top layer of the ferment. For sugar or honey-based ferments, ensure they’re exposed to air and with honey ferments, stir or shake often.
