The Alchemy of Vegetable Fermentation @ Howell, NJ - by Return to Nature

Fermentation
of vegetables and plant matter is an ancient alchemical practice of breaking
down plant cells in salt water to extract the highest form of nutrients and
nourish the body with an abundance of vitamins, minerals, and probiotics.  In this day where germaphobia is so
prevalent, most of our food is pasteurized to no end.  Thus we are losing culture, and culturing
practice.  This makes finding truly fermented
foods rare and expensive.  Fortunately it
is easy, safe and inexpensive to make fermented foods at home.



This
workshop will empower you, with hands on experience, to make your own fermented
healthy foods at home which require no electricity and no refrigeration.  We will explore the process of this ancient
art, the many ways of flavoring with spices and how to easily incorporate
fermented foods into your diet.



Everyone
will leave with their own jar of delicious, nourishing fermented veggies, as
well as the knowledge to properly store and care for them, and of course how to
make lots more!
