Once it's started, you can use it as a yeast substitute. The only challenge is that it's a bit like a pet -- you have to feed it every two weeks and bake bread often to keep from having overflow.<br /><br />Thanks so much for your info on fermentation. My family loves sauerkraut, and with the cabbage we're planting, it'll be a great way to preserve it.<br /><br />Thanks for posting! <br />-ChristinaC. A.

Your p...Thank you for demystifying fermented foods. Your post was clear and concise and very informative. Since you asked if I had any tips to share, I will say that I have been fermenting foods for some time now, (have a crock of Kimchee ready to eat today!) and have found that it is a simple process, with only a few pitfalls. Most of those can be prevented by making sure not to introduce unwanted bacteria to your fermenting foods. All equipment should be sterilized, run through the dishwasher on "sani-rinse", or dipping glass jars in boiling water for a minute or so, (be sure to set the hot jars on a towel, not on the counter to avoid the jar breaking), is effective. Then once the fermented food is in the fermenting jar, sealed and set aside to do it's thing, leave it alone...don't be tempted to open the jar for a peak, every time the jar is opened it gives harmful bacteria a chance to get in.<br />I recently posted a blog post about making raw sauerkraut if you are interested in reading it here is a link to the post: http://aviewfromthecottage.blogspot.com/2013/02/making-raw-sauerkraut.html<br />Thank you again for your post and have a great day!Elle Mentalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11734966446287632443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137578215906638858.post-57784218585030565142013-02-21T14:12:10.114-06:002013-02-21T14:12:10.114-06:00This is such great information!

I've been scared of fermenting as I tried to make some yogurt and it just tasted gone off to me, so I'm never sure what it's actually supposed to taste like or whether it's gone off. I am trying to make a starter to make some homemade bread thought so not sure if that's going to work. It seems a lot of work but I'd love get much more fermented foods in my diet.

I buy one my sons powdered probiotics from a local health store for some stomach issues he has. I wonder if I could get him to eat some foods like these on a daily basis and if it would help him as well as they do.
