Ferment Almost Anything
Vegetable weight (g) + Water weight (g) * 0.02 = salt (g).
Usually creates enough for a 900ml jar.
Remember to sterilise the jar.
- Add a jar to a scale and zero out, add vegetables to the jar and fill up with water. Record the weight in grams.
- Vegetable
- Water
- Multiply the weight by 0.02 (or 0.03 if the vegetable is prone to developing mould), this is the amount of salt you need (in grams).
- Remove the water into a bowl, combine with salt, and add back to the jar.
- Salt
- Leave at room temperature for 3 days to 2 weeks depending on taste.
