Fermented
VEGETABLES

Fermentation is one of the oldest food processing methods still used today. Scientifically known as zymology, it is the conversion of carbohydrates into alcohols, carbon dioxide, yeast, or bacteria. Beer, miso, sourdough, kefir, kimchi and many other delicious foods we love are the product of fermentation. Discover the basic science behind how to ferment vegetables – from sauerkraut and beets to carrots and corn. Then, watch as Cheryl demonstrates how to ferment whatever vegetables you have in your kitchen while discussing the many health benefits fermented foods can provide.

Our Garden continues to follow CDC recommendations and state guidelines for preventing the spread of COVID-19. Properly worn masks are strongly encouraged for indoor class participants regardless of vaccination status. The Garden reserves the right to implement additional safety measures. Any updates will be communicated prior to class, if possible.
