    hey stacy - or anyone - one trick i learnt with growing cauliflower - as soon as the head starts to develop - you go around the plant and bend and break the big outside leaves over the top of the head - this protects the head from the sunlight and stops that yellowing and purpleing of the head - you can flick the leaves up to check for free loading chompers but generally they dont seem to get that far in - it also helps slow down the sprouting of the head - that is a hard one to catch one day the cauli is fine the next day - sproing it has split and started to sprout - try it - it does work

Her cauliflower IS beautiful but in fact she DID have a little bit of yellowing and purpling and slightly overblown around the edges and i reckon Musicmad was just being helpful. Stacy was right to be proud of her cauli but there is never anything wrong with sharing some of our own experiences in a community based you tube video. .and I dont think Stacy or Doug would have been offended by that. .Perhaps you were just having a bad day today so I hope your day gets better for you :) xx

    Last time I was hanging out at my friends house, we were sitting near her garden, and I saw all the beautiful leaves on the outside of the cabbage that was for me. I asked her if she ever ate them. She said no she hadn’t even thought of it. I did a quick search, and realized some people ate them. She let me pick some leaves from each cabbage that she had planted. My husband, and I had them the next day with our dinner, and they were so delicious! All I did was toss them in some boiling water for two or three minutes, drain them really good, pat them dry and then toss them in a frying pan with some olive oil and butter that I had already been sautéing onions in. Yummy!

    Stacy, you inspired me to ferment a couple years ago. I live in an apartment in town and feel like it is a way I can have healthier produce year round even without a garden. My first ferment was just following one of your videos; I think it was carrots with ginger. I love to shred carrots, beets and home riced cauliflower and ferment them together as a little side dish, and I serve it in fancy little bowls my daughter-in-law gave me. Oh, btw, I love the cranberry ferment recipe you shared a few years ago, and that has become part of our Hanukkah celebrations. TY for sharing all the info!

      From Lil Giant Wow! I love cranberry and my friend loves ginger. I would LOVE to do those. I, too, will be looking for those recipes. Sprouting seeds is a really great help, but Vitamin A, in the carrots and ginger fermentation, as well as Vitamin C in the cranberries are frequently missing in a bare necessity diet.
      These are really terrific ideas, and would be important in a prep lifestyle. Also would not be difficult to have carrots, or even maybe some cranberries, stored in a root cellar or other cool place. I know cranberries can be frozen but am not sure about the root cellar. Perhaps you would have to ferment in advance before or during the crisis. Even if you have cranberries frozen and the freezer went down, you could ferment and give away to your neighbors, who might be in same situation as yourself.
      Betcha’ they will be trying to preserve their freezer contents, too, in a crisis but would NEVER think of storing cranberries. Would go well with all that meat they probably have defrosted. LOL
      P.S. Those who do not store/eat whole wheat should try now. Around about 120 lbs per person should be stored for a year. Make bread with half and half white flour for about a year so you can prepare your body to be able to accept whole wheat berries regularly in an emergency.

    Thank you Stacey for encouraging people to use fermented foods! Super healthy truly unprocessed foods. I come from the Russia (30 years ago) - the land of fermented foods :-) Every family fermented their favorite foods for the winter. Cabbage is national favorite, combinations are countless - cabbage with shredded carrots, cabbage with chunks of beets, cabbage with green apples, cabbage with caraway seeds, cabbage with fresh cranberries, and any combination of the above and more. We fermented (pickled) green apples, watermelon, garlic whole, garlic green shoots, mushrooms ... all delicious! I enjoy watching your channel very very much! Already bought Mason fermentation kit and extras, thanks for your suggestion. Happy Summer 2020 for you and Doug!

      @olgadonbass8574 Рік тому +1

      @@VWilt-so3ws Well, actually she puts too much salt but maybe that's because she wants to preserve it longer or their family just likes it saltier. She puts 48 grams of salt for 1 liter of water which equals 4,8 grams of salt for 100 ml (it is 4.8% brine). The minimum salt you should put when you ferment stuff is 2%, which means 2 grams of salt for 100 ml of water or 20 grams of salt for 1 liter of water. This will prevent the development of pathogenic microoganisms. Remember: the juicier the stuff you want to ferment, the higher the % of salt in brine. Cucumbers, for instance, require 5% salt in brine coz they are practically water. But for all kinds of cruciferae like cabbage or cauliflower 2% of salt is enough. Some people add more coz they like it saltier. BUT the more salt you add, the slower fermentation process will go. Good luck with your ferments!

    I watched one of your early videos, actually many of them years and years ago, when you first started. Apparently I never subscribed lol. I just came across you again and WOW all the changes, and buildings and new things. So exciting.. (I am now subscribed lol). I tried fermenting after watching an early video of yours where you made sauerkraut I believe. I got the 'nipples' the glass pucks and everything! Sadly mine didn't work well. My fault. I did cucumbers and I did sauerkraut. The cucumber I think got exposed and I had funky mold.. like purple ... so I tossed it. And the other I think was okay.. and tasted it.. but had left it a bit too long I think so was quite strong. And then I didn't know what to eat it with!! hahaha I have since learned more. Thank you so much for sharing all you do. I really enjoy watching and learning. I am handicapped and can't get out of my home...

    I have made ferment before. Several yrs ago my mom planted tomatoes late and there was a drought, so, not many tomatoes. Then the weather cooled off and it rained several weeks before frost. The plants we covered in tomatoes. I didn't want them to go bad so I scoured the internet and found fermentation. Green tomatoes, carrots, cabbage and onions. Just finished the last jar the end of last yr.
    The depth of flavor that develops over time is AMAZING!
    I will be using fresh herbs this time. Thank you so much!

    Hi, from Michigan. Love your channel. I’m looking forward to trying different ferments this year with food from our garden. My first ferment was sauerkraut. In fact, I have two different jars, one is plain and the other has added onions to it. My husband loves the onion one. I also have sliced pickles that I did about two months ago. I have tried other ferments which I was not too fond of. The cauliflower one looks really good. I will be trying that in the future.

    My first ferment, I watched your 'FERMENTING FOR DUMMIES! SO EASY' video and followed that recipe. Then, I did red cabbages on its own, red and green cabbages next and followed by beetroot. Later, I did dill pickles too :)

      Their vids as well as a few others on fermentation were the keys in what finally got me off the fearful indecisiveness fence, cause I investigated sooo many other fermentation vids from other channels and Some make it sound quite intimidating, you really do just need a good vessel, salt, healthy water and something to through on like a lid and a nose..... if it looks weird yet smells funky like vinegar, its fine....if it smells musty "bad" like dirt or something died, then I'm sure there's mold in there.
      I don't remember whose channel said "the nose knows" but it's been such an invaluable piece of advice...
      Since I just went for it i am a biotic loving fool.... making misc fermented veggies starting with simple sour crout with carrots and onion to making my own milk &water kefir to (mostly what call pink, not regular melt your face off red kimchi, yet not the white, cause I like a teeny spice. The stuff I came out with is more smokey & pink)to kombuncha (& coffucha in the summer) to trying the store bought stuff then started making my own ACV (apple cider vinegar) & pear vinegar....way yum!

    This is great. I’ve got a question. I do fermenting but always keep them in the fridge once fermented and use them fairly quickly. I’d like to keep them longer in the cellar but I’m never clear on how to do that. Do you leave the pickle pipes on the jars for long term storage or replace them with normal lids? How cool does the cellar have to be? Thanks!

    Just loved this lesson on fermenting Stacy! I have fermented before and always finish with questions about this or that and you answered them all. Your the best. My first experience was making apple cider vinegar with the cores and peelings from The apples in my orchard. It was such a great experience. It formed a mother that I continue to use yr after yr. i first used the apples to make a wonderful apple butter that I canned and then used the scraps for the vinegar, it was so rewarding to be able to use every bit of the apple. After that I fermented my first batch of sauerkraut with cabbage from the garden...soooo yummy and so rewarding.. love your channel.❤️❤️

I make a pint of brine for a quart of ferment with a pint of filtered well water and 2 teaspoons salt, then I layer a quart jar with carrots, smashed garlic cloves(3-5 per quart, I love garlic) and dill to taste. I like dill, too, Stacey, so I use a lot. 4-7 days till YUM!!!

    Hello from Norway, great video. Fermenting is a big thing here too at the moment. I have never tried it, I have just learned canning! 😅 Very useful tips in how you are using it. On my counter I have ingredients for a beef stew, slow cooker. I found a packet of dried peas in the pantry, have to use it, and it has been soaking in water over night. A good stew will be perfect for this cold and rainy day. 💕
