Preserving Cucumbers The Ancient Way - Lacto Fermented Cucumber Pickles - Probiotic Superfood
My Friends this is the recipe for the WORLDS GREATEST cucumber "pickles"... and even the word "pickle" is misleading because these are in a league all by themselves as one of the greatest food stuffs to eat with nearly any meal. This is the next step in our fermentation journey so check it out and let me know how the experience works for you!

thank you again my friend!... many more fermenting videos coming this next couple months
Yes!!! Fermented food is so life sustaining! I lacto-ferment green beans using a similar recipe and they are my favorite! (A bit of black tea leaves will help them stay crunchy). I also ferment carrots with jalapeños and garlic, jars of various radishes and turnips, make my own fermented tobasco sauce. Preserve lemons in salt…kimchi, Sauerkraut. (I’m going to have to try your idea of adding some juniper berries next time). The jars keep more than a year and it’s so nice to open up a jar of summer ferments in the middle of January. Good stuff, Nate!

The bay leaves do the same thing as the tea leaves: tannins preserve crispiness.
That was perfectly succinct and 100% useful, very well done! Every question I was asking myself was answered, dang! Congratulations man! Well done indeed!

Awesome vid brother - more ancient techniques like this please! God bless you.
Another good reason to pack the cucumbers in is, so they dont float up, and stay submerged under the liquid. 😁👍
Prefer these to vinegar any day!
I love making fermented pickles!
This is on my to-do list for sure. Thanks for sharing! I am fermenting cherry tomatoes today. 😋

@@debcheney the salt ratio is a little different. You also have to pierce the tomato with a toothpick to help the ferment. It’s from a channel called Mary’s nest on KZread. It won’t let me post the link here but if you search Mary’s Nest fermented Tomatoes recipe-Fermented Cherry Tomatoes with Basil recipe it will come up in the search. Good luck!

@@Red2U I don't think piercing them is necessary in fact I love the ones where the skin has not broken but it's still ferments inside. Then it's like an explosion of flavor when you pop that skin in your mouth.

they will still keep for at least a month or two just in the closet and possibly much longer... I've had a jar just sitting in my cupboards for over a year now and they're still edible... not as crisp as they once were but I just ate a few bites the other day....
Easier than pickling it seems. (Though I’ve never done pickling or lacto-fermentation. I’ve tried making sourdough bread starter and ACV, both failed.) Yet, I think I can do this method. I’ve been feeding cucumbers to the pigs since I don’t really know what else to do with them. If I get more this season, I’ll try this. Thanks!
I ferment my cabbage and cucumbers in a fermentation crock until thoroughly fermented. Then process by adding the other ingredients before canning in a water bath canner...
Vast majority of pickled items in the stored here in Sweden is vinegar based, but you can actually find commercial lactofermented vegtebles and such at most places. 👍 Cuecumbers are my fav among them for sure. This was made very simple and i thank you i have been interested for quite some time but now i feel confident to try it out. And my mom us growing alot of an old Swedish pickling cuecumber variety from the beginning of the 1700.

actually thats what the bay leaves are for its the tannins in the leaves that keep it crisp and yes these are super crazy crisp even more than other pickles just try to use the freshest possible cucumbers but if its from the store then just soak them in ice water for a couple hours before doing it
