Alright, I usually ignore this stuff but let me set something straight. I said Twice in the video that this technique is from The Noma Guide to Fermentation. I’ve also been playing with this technique and working on a video for months and have proof on my instagram from posts that date far enough back. So no, I’m not copying BA. And honestly it’s super annoying to spend so much time as a newer to UA-cam guy to make something like this only to see another multi million dollar company happen to post it (because they used the same book as reference) and then me be told I’m copying them. So please just try and be nice bc it is kinda funny (in a comedic way) that BA has posted recipes after I’ve already done them and vice versa (like the pop tart recipe that I did first). And I think it’s just a testament to the current trends of food. And I take it as a humongous compliment that could even happen by coincidence when I am only ONE PERSON pushing to build something truly authentic, and Bon Appetit is a staff of over 200 people. I’m not mad just wana set the record straight. Love you guys and I love Brad Leone a lot and I hope to maybe work with him one day.
Joshua Weissman you shouldn’t give a shit about those people. We love you man❤️ keep it up with the content. Also, when you are going to make a miso video? 👀
@@JoshuaWeissman If we really want to take the "simpsons did it" approach then no one can have a cooking show cause everything has been done at least once somewhere by someone.

Thanks Papi... Im a 53 year old semi retired chef, and I am loving your channel and content.. and I amreally enjoying this fermentation section.. Cheers Papi you absolute champion..😘😘
Honestly I think you should have over 1 million subscribers by now, but I think that’ll happen soon because you make amazing videos! Keep up the good work and the always appreciated jokes
I'm new!! :-)........ trying to learn all I can to improve my gut health...also a good way for me to consume more salt .....I'm the kinda person who never uses salt on my food I really need to remember to eat some especially in the summer when we sweat alot of it out
Thanks so much Josh, about 8 years ago I started getting interested in fermentation. I'm in my mid 60's & wish I had started sooner. I first started with kombucha, kefir then finally fermented veggies. I really see the benefits. But all of a sudden I thought is there a reason to ferment fruit? So I popped the question on you tube & you were the 1st on the list. You really have a really enjoyable & funny way to explain complicated stuff. So, keep up the video, our household loves learning from you.
Y’all crazy Josh has posted videos before BA makes theirs, like his Yuzu Kosho about a week before Brad posted one and his homemade pop tart before Claire’s gormet makes. He’s doing this full time, it takes longer than just a simple afternoon to test recipes, prep, record, and edit. When you have two channels with similar topics (especially Fermentation Friday and It’s Alive) you’re bound to have some rhyming.
I've been fermenting for years. If it fits in a jar it has a good chance of being fermented. But I've never seen it done in a sealed bag! I laughed and then subbed. Expecting great things from your channel! You seem to have an amazing sense of humor that I enjoy very much.
I was very skeptical about putting fermented blueberry on top of pancakes. After 6 days of fermenting the blueberries, mine was still slightly salty and smelled like wine. Still not sure about it, but I put them on my pancake and put maple syrup on top. The saltiness somehow added great depth of flavor. It was delicious! Thank you, Joshua.
In his defense.... I remember watching him start these processes on IG before BA dropped their video... I just think him and Brad share the same host 🤔
I remember when Claire's Gourmet Poptart video came out, there were a bunch of annoying comments asserting Josh did it first. People just LOVE to point out when two UA-cam channels cover the same topic, even if there are clearly different approaches.

@@ThisIsTheInternet its like they don't watch the whole video to where he mentions that fact. Like a person can take inspiration from something and mention it at the end of the video. But I agree with tyler as well
Great video! Pay no attention to the critics. I for one, prefer your content vs the over-polished commercial kitchen stuff. Your edginess and delivery are great, and the quality of your ideas is right up there with any other cooking content I've come across!
Do they retain all the good stuff, enzymes, amp probiotics?I would imagine they lose some. can imagine pureeing some of the finished stone fruits, mixing it up, and making some jerky with added miso. Mixed with shiitakes?
I'm so late, but on time. I finally found someone fermenting blueberry. The tomato is a plus. I have some plans for that one myself. Watch out for them haters, bro. Nice video and B-roll.👍🏾
That sounds exciting! I love gose and I read that originally it used to get it's sourness only from spontenous fermentation, and that they started using lactic acid with it later. The idea of combining lacto fermented fruit and beer seems super cool.
@@julli281 ye that's correct, it was done the same way as Belgian sours where you would brew the beer then hold it in massive copper baths and allow the outside air to blow over it during the night allowing all the wild yeast to settle in it and ferment. The German side of things would use 2 year old hops and that would get the ferment "spontaneously" started. Nowadays you inoculate with lacto for about 1-3 days then boil and continue as a normal beer. I'm just worried the plum flavor will be lost during the boil and ferment but if it works i'd says it'll be savage
Thanks for showing this method. I have been lacto fermenting lemons for about 8 years, but haven't tried this method. I want to encourage you to use those stone fruit pits to make a liqueur. It's freaking awesome. I roast the pits and then crack them (with a vice) and steep them in vodka for 30-60 days. I sometimes drink it as an infused vodka, but most of the time I make a stone fruit scrap simple syrup and make a liqueur - 3 to 1 vodka to syrup. (or whatever you like) It's like Grand Marnier, but peachy (or cherry or a mix). Great mouth feel and delish! I adore your videos and truly appreciate the care and methods you use to teach. I've learned a LOT from you! (except on your mozzarella video, I'm too short at 4'-11 to do that stretching method, on any of my counters or tables lol -- how is that for a kitchen challenge?)
Because it's cherry season in Australia, I got my hands on some fresh red ones and fermented a batch. They were done pretty quickly, but I put them in the fridge to develop more flavour. And they taste a little alcoholic now. They go really well in my smoothies or with some nice yoghurt and honey in the morning.
Wow! This was amazing! I live off grid in Montana and always looking for ways to keep food other than in a refrigerator. I did not expect to find such mouthwatering originally creative ways to use what I ferment! Incredible! And thank you!
Dang - the fish with the olive/peach topping looks amazing! So did the shrimp....and the pancakes.... 🤔 And the bruschetta..... I should've just said it ALL LOOKS AMAZING! Yummo 😋
Out of curiosity some time ago I tried an experiment by putting some grapes with sea salt (crushed slightly) in a ziploc bag clipped it with a clothes peg to prevent it exploding open and then for additional saftey I put it in an air tight container...After a few days when I checked I could smell the alcohol fumes. By about almost 2 week I think (memory is bit fadey) It was sooo strong. So even thought I added some sea salt alcoholic fermentation still occured I'm guessing because of the sugar content and since I left it too long...I also live in a warm climate so maybe that speeded up the process even more. Oh well I wasn't really disappointed though...To go a step further I added this to a veg combo of beets carrots and pumpkin that I had previously fermented (lacto fermentation this time) and got an interesting concoction. It tasted great but I don't know what I really created😂😂😂😂😂
Dear Joshua, I'm so excited for this video and all this fermentation stuff but also I really don't understand how to use these fruits after the job is done. But it's so interesting for me, so I gotta go to watch all your previous videos (again). Thank you
Great video! Two quick questions- 1. after fermentation is complete, where is the best place to store the fruit? The fridge? 2. How long will it keep? Thanks, I love your videos!
So excited to find another great youtube channel/creator. Keep up the good work, you make this stuff approachable and fun, while still keeping production value high, with that internet/youtube twist.
Wow that shrimp idea is really intriguing. I wonder how exactly the fermented tomato juice tastes like, actually. Naturally decomposing tomato has one of the horrible smells lol
Rotten potato is worse. And it the smell does not come off easily!! I grabbed a potato out of the basket one time, and my finger went into a mushy spot and squirted this nasty yellow juice all over my hand and the counter. I had to soak my hand in vinegar to get that smell off; just soap and water wouldn't do it.
Its not too hard to fathom that it may actually be decent. Off milk is sulphorous and disgusting by smell, but fermented milk, (i.e. cheese), is one of the best things around.
fermented tomato juice smells amazing, while rotting tomato juice smells absolutely vile. You should try making it sometime, fermented tomatoes taste good on practically everything and it's dead simple to make.
Hey Joshua, just wanted to tell you that you deserve alot more recognition and that you are a HUGE inspiration. This video is great since i really needed to learn some fermentation. Thanks for sharing it ❤
Hi! We have a delicacy in the Philippines called “buro,” made from salted rice and fish. Can you make a video explaining how fermentation occurs in the process of making it?
Alright ! Now to start another experiment in my kitchen....I never imagined I could use my vacuum sealer to ferment! I wish I'd seen this when stone fruits were in season,maybe apples and pears or even citrus?I have ACV and sauerkraut fermenting at present,my house smells like a twisted distillery and it's about to hit a new level.Thanks for this video,I love fermenting !
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. As someone who isn't working as a chef professionally I really appreciate your introductions to techniques out of the sophisticated cuisine world. I'm cooking a lot more since I found your channel. I even borrowed a dehydrator from a friend to do the cured egg yolks. All the best from Vienna!
I started the fermentation process, I had a gallon of oranges and juice, after one week it was bubbling, so I added 1 and a half pounds of sugar, it turned into alcohol, so then 'swim' put that in a 5 gallon bucket with an immersion heater, tied a gallon bag over the top of the bucket to catch the steam which the steam btw was white lightning pure alcohol. Thank you for the videos I now know it can be done with all fruits ;) :P even did it with salsa once ;)
From the Noma Book: "They'll keep in the refrigerator for up to a week without changing much character much" - I.e. They'll keep fermenting, but at a really, really slow rate due to the lower temperature. They suggest freezing any lacto fruit if you don't think you'll use it in a week. Alternatively, you could put the lacto fruits in the fridge a day or two BEFORE they have reached your desired so they can spend more time in the fridge without going past the too sour point.
I also got the NOMA guide as a birthday present recently. I tried fermenting blueberries, but those turned out really weird because they were frozen. I tried again, but this time, I used cherries. After fermenting perfectly for 3 days, the cherries have retained their sweetness but they have the tartness and saltiness of an olive. This really seems to work well and might go very nicely as a garnish with some alcohol. I'm gonna use those cherries with my homemade kefir, and maybe I'll try a soda or lemonade that has these cherries. The leftover brine, I might see if I can turn into a nice salad dressing.
Are you and BA in kahoots? I swear you both always release similar videos around the same time lol, even though I'm SURE BA record theirs months in advance
“Fermentation scares people because it’s expected to be complicated.” When I was 10 I crushed up some fruit, put it in a bag and stuck it under my bed because i wanted a free supply of alcohol to sip on whenever
this is probably the first video of Joshua that escapes my understanding, maybe because I've never worked with lacto-fermented fruits, especially for savoury dishes
The recipes I've been finding MAKE it complicated. I had to search and search before finding this, to find out how to figure out how much salt to use, so if I didn't have *exactly the same amount* of fruit to ferment as the recipe called for, it was a no-go.
Woooah ! so much great new info there I had to roll back the video 3 times w/ pencil & paper in hand to jot down the facts. Healthy stuff, indeed! Thanks man!
Even though BA just did this, it isn't an original idea that either of them invented. Brad and Josh are both giving their 2 cents on this particular method.
Wow, thanks for introducing the vacuum sealer method - that is a real game changer I think :) I love fermenting, it has really changed my cooking in a very good way. It's pretty healthy as well. Thank you!
So two questions. Could I use the fruit or juice in Kombucha for the second fermentation, or would that cause a culture conflict? (counter culture shock?) Could you use the vacuum bags in the same fashion with vegetables like carrots or something else?
Most excellent! I just got suggestion an hour ago and have, and such a lovely foodie. May the Unami goddess shine on you and may you have abundant success. 🦹🏻♀️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
bloobeeblah I said 2 times that this method is from the Noma guide to fermentation. So no, this is purely an idea from Noma, not BA. And I even mentioned it in the video. So any resemblance is because they used Noma’s method too. I had no idea they even did a video on it. I’ve been playing with this method for months and have proof of that on my instagram with posts that date months back. It’s purely by coincidence and probably because we both are in the same industry reading about things that are very trendy in the culinary scene. It’s bound to happen but not my intention.
Excited to get going on some stone fruit ferments, and grape tomatoes, and lemons, and clementines. and those beautiful cherry popper peppers that taste so fruity.
So dope,I actually just got the noma book this week! Thanks for making things I always thought looked complicated into something very approachable... even to home cooks!
you can use a big bowl or tub of water to pretty much vacuum seal a ziplock bag by submerging until just below the zipper. did this in my sous vide days
Thank you for this great hint using a waterbag as a weight. I want to try fermentation for a while now, but was struggling to find an adequate weight. Sometimes you just don't see the forest for the trees 😅 Please keep on uploading! You make such unbelievable helpful videos! ☺️ Greetings from Germany! 🙋🏻♀️
I used a plastic coffee mug lid the other day. Turned it upside down and pushed it down into the brine so it filled up. It did the trick. I suspect IKEA probably has a whole bunch of glass tea candle holders that might be the right size. I did order actual weights from Amazon many weeks ago, but they were ridiculously expensive so I only got four, and more inportantly, they have yet to arrive.
Appreciate all the info. Great video! Just my 2 cents, when using a bag as the weight, use brine in case the bag gets a hole, it doesnt dilute and eff up the ferment with water.
I ❤️ my vac sealer. Even when I have ice glazed chicken it eventually freezer burns so I vac seal them for freshness. Also saves dried things that might get bugs and allows you to save space in the pantry.
Bro, your channel is killing me. All of these things are so much simpler than I ever expected them to be (not just fermenting). My lazy ass needs to get to work! However, I do vote for a whole new series of grilling videos though.. it looks like you spend a lot of time inside, in the kitchen, and with all the time I spend in front of my grill, I think you could use some of that fresh air. ;)
Alright, I usually ignore this stuff but let me set something straight.

“Fermentation scares people because it’s expected to be complicated.” When I was 10 I crushed up some fruit, put it in a bag and stuck it under my bed because i wanted a free supply of alcohol to sip on whenever
Did it work?
Mini Williams it tasted like shit, so nah. It definitely fermented though.
@@turntechgodbeheaded Unfortunate haha. Good thing you didn't get sick from it or anything.
@@yuuri9064 well he never said THAT. Lol
🤣🤣🤣
this is probably the first video of Joshua that escapes my understanding, maybe because I've never worked with lacto-fermented fruits, especially for savoury dishes
"We don't talk anymore... Shiiiit!"
HAHAHAHAHAHA DIED
The recipes I've been finding MAKE it complicated. I had to search and search before finding this, to find out how to figure out how much salt to use, so if I didn't have *exactly the same amount* of fruit to ferment as the recipe called for, it was a no-go.
joshua weissman be like (completely nonsensical question, the answer to which is B roll)
Woooah ! so much great new info there I had to roll back the video 3 times w/ pencil & paper in hand to jot down the facts. Healthy stuff, indeed! Thanks man!
can I lacto-ferment apples?
I’m so excited to try the tomatoes…my mouth started wat when you described them! Love your crazy, quirky videos! Time for me to subscribe! ❤
Even though BA just did this, it isn't an original idea that either of them invented. Brad and Josh are both giving their 2 cents on this particular method.
Wow, thanks for introducing the vacuum sealer method - that is a real game changer I think :) I love fermenting, it has really changed my cooking in a very good way. It's pretty healthy as well. Thank you!
Can you lacto-ferment avacado for a funky guac?
Try fermenting the tomatoes and peppers for your guacamole, I bet that’d be nice
Yes, there is a woman who is connected to Traditional Cooking dot com who ferments avocados. Her name is Wardee- check her out. ❤️
@Mark Cedrick you shouldn't its will go crazy you should never bever ferment any fat
i tryed doing avacado kombucha it exploded three times
@@itzibrahimm2616 What about sausage, prosciutto, parma ham, cheese etc. all those are fermented fats.
I'm glad I'm caught up on all your videos because now I can watch them as soon as they're uploaded and anticipate more :D
So two questions.
Could I use the fruit or juice in Kombucha for the second fermentation, or would that cause a culture conflict? (counter culture shock?)
Could you use the vacuum bags in the same fashion with vegetables like carrots or something else?
I use the vacuum method for cabbage (sauerkraut). When the fermentation process is done you suck the air one last time and it lasts for month.
Friggin amazing video. I’ve been on the fermentation train lately, but I haven’t thought to do fruits!!
Keep up the amazing work, brother 💪
I need that smooth b-roll background music PLEASE!!!
Shazam can´t find it
Cuz he had it custom made for his channel. The track is named "b-roll" or something like that, lol.
I always enjoy your videos brother. Thanks for the lacto-fermentation ideas. You rock. Look forward to your next video.
watched for how to get drunk techniques...
ended up healthy...
:(
Like it before I watch it, that’s how sure I am of every video you put out there
So Cody's lab have switched chemistry to kitchen.
This video actually blew my mind. Incredible
i have a question:
are the fruits tasting salty ? 'cause there's so much salt used for the fermantation
Same question Josh...
Me too Josh
My lacto plums definitely tasted a bit salty. Not my blueberries though
@@julienh4111 oh ok, thanks for the answer !
These recipes are awesome and creative. I am new to eating fermented foods very helpful ideas.
Bon Appetit: *uploads a fermentation video*
Josh: Hold my yeast
WOW, never thought of fermentation using vacuum sealer! Thanks a million Josh :)
Btw do you know what would Josh christen his restaurant/bistro as ..."b-roll" 😎
Nocellara del Belice olives are the best, in my opinion. I heartily agree with that recipe. Keep up the great work Josh.
You know you've been watching too much Joshua's videos when he says a phrase and you both say "beeroll" at the same time
Most excellent! I just got suggestion an hour ago and have, and such a lovely foodie. May the Unami goddess shine on you and may you have abundant success. 🦹🏻♀️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
First for the first time, can I get a cookie? Or a fermented strawberry?
The examples of uses are nearly as valuable as the instruction on how to ferment in the first place. 👍🏼
hmmmm Bon Appetite just did this...interesting.
AntwonDaBusiness literally every fermentation video he posts is right after the topic bob appetit does
Yep...the exact method
Also BETTER DONE YOURSELF did it and recommended NOMA. The method used from It's Alive come from the same book.
Jonathan Russo According to other viewers, BA records their videos months in advance. This coming a week after they posted it seems sus :p
@Jonathan Russo fermenting fruit takes about 1 week bro haha.
Now I gotta get some bags for my whatchmacallit machine! I LOVE fermentation Fridays!
Tammy Winters oh I cannot use plastics, have alergies, and can taste it in stuff now. sigh, glass for me!
@@carrolannethompson3947 it's not good for you anyway. Glass is definitely better!
multiply by 0,02 and not 0,2 as he said, or you will get 20% O_o
Very nice vídeo!! You’re right it’s easy and excellent for Health😍😍😍
he’s hot. he makes great content.
how doesn’t he have millions of subs?
He will, I have no doubt.
He has a million subs
You never cease to amaze me...
Are you just ripping from whatever BA did the previous week throwing in some gen-z hipster flair and topping off with sorted food posh?
bloobeeblah I said 2 times that this method is from the Noma guide to fermentation. So no, this is purely an idea from Noma, not BA. And I even mentioned it in the video. So any resemblance is because they used Noma’s method too. I had no idea they even did a video on it. I’ve been playing with this method for months and have proof of that on my instagram with posts that date months back.
It’s purely by coincidence and probably because we both are in the same industry reading about things that are very trendy in the culinary scene. It’s bound to happen but not my intention.
Excited to get going on some stone fruit ferments, and grape tomatoes, and lemons, and clementines. and those beautiful cherry popper peppers that taste so fruity.
I'm with Josh. Fermenting is as ancient as aliens in Egypt. If your ancestors can do it, so shall you.
So dope,I actually just got the noma book this week! Thanks for making things I always thought looked complicated into something very approachable... even to home cooks!
Stealing ideas from BA?
Every time you open the cabinet I get flashbacks to late nights watching Good Eats, and I’m living for it.

The text airh the smiley made my day.
you can use a big bowl or tub of water to pretty much vacuum seal a ziplock bag by submerging until just below the zipper. did this in my sous vide days
Excellent content Joshua, actually I gifted the noma guide to a friend because of your videos. Keep it coming
Thank you for this great hint using a waterbag as a weight. I want to try fermentation for a while now, but was struggling to find an adequate weight. Sometimes you just don't see the forest for the trees 😅
Please keep on uploading! You make such unbelievable helpful videos! ☺️
Greetings from Germany! 🙋🏻♀️
I used a plastic coffee mug lid the other day. Turned it upside down and pushed it down into the brine so it filled up. It did the trick. I suspect IKEA probably has a whole bunch of glass tea candle holders that might be the right size. I did order actual weights from Amazon many weeks ago, but they were ridiculously expensive so I only got four, and more inportantly, they have yet to arrive.
Awesome video! I’m making these with fruits & tomatoes!! I’m glad I subscribed to you!!!♥️♥️♥️your upload content each time!!!
4:08 that is very similar to a typical appetizer that we do in spain mostly in catalonia, its called "pà amb tomàquet"
I never thought about using this method. Great ideas.
Appreciate all the info. Great video! Just my 2 cents, when using a bag as the weight, use brine in case the bag gets a hole, it doesnt dilute and eff up the ferment with water.
Oh thats smart, thanks!
your shooting techniques are really good. fruits seem really tasty.
I ❤️ my vac sealer. Even when I have ice glazed chicken it eventually freezer burns so I vac seal them for freshness. Also saves dried things that might get bugs and allows you to save space in the pantry.
Bro, your channel is killing me. All of these things are so much simpler than I ever expected them to be (not just fermenting). My lazy ass needs to get to work! However, I do vote for a whole new series of grilling videos though.. it looks like you spend a lot of time inside, in the kitchen, and with all the time I spend in front of my grill, I think you could use some of that fresh air. ;)
Love your sense of humour!
10/10 bravo - great editing and skillful cooking... great tips too!
Is there anything you can‘t ferment? Joshua is the FERMENTATION KING
