Step 1
Dissolve salt in water.

Place the carrot sticks in the jar and pour the liquid over the carrots, leaving 1-2 inches headspace.
Step 3
If necessary, weigh the carrots down under the brine to keep them submerged.
Step 4
Cover the jar with a tight lid, airlock lid, or coffee filter secured with a rubber band.
Step 5
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 6
Once the carrots are finished, put a tight lid on the jar and move to cold storage. The flavor will continue to develop as the carrots age.
