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!

    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!
