Lacto-Fermented Grated Ginger Carrots

Step 1

In a medium bowl, mix carrots, ginger, and sea salt. Knead with clean hands or use a Cabbage Crusher until there is enough liquid to cover.

Step 2

Transfer the mixture to a quart glass jar, pressing to submerge completely underneath the liquid. If necessary, add a bit of water to completely cover the mixture or use a fermentation weight to keep the vegetables under the liquid.

Step 3

Cover the jar with a tight lid, airlock lid, or coffee filter secured with a rubber band.

Step 4

Culture at room temperature (60-70°F is preferred) until desired flavor and texture are achieved. If using a tight lid, burp daily to release excess pressure.

Step 5

Once the carrots are finished, put a tight lid on the jar and move to cold storage. The flavor will continue to develop as it ages.
