If you like fermented tomatoes, try making fermented salsa. Dice or pulse in a food processor tomatoes, jalapenos, cilantro, onions, lime add 2 t salt per quart on the counter 3-4 days. AMAZING!
NO, that defeats the purpose, that is canning. Canning has been around for 200 years and KILLS the nutrition and bacteria. This is Lacto-Fermentation and it ENHANCES nutrition and actually increases it, it is the process of growing the natural bacteria that is good for you, probiotic!!! this process has been around for over 6 THOUSAND years! you are creating an anaerobic environment for GOOD bacteria to thrive in and that good bacteria will kill all the bad bacteria (YES IT EVEN WILL KILL E-COLI !! ). There is plenty of information to be had on the subject and this is nothing but good fro your body. Your gut has on average 5-7 POUNDS of bacteria in it.... that 5-7 pounds of bacteria is over 80% of your immune system! follow this guy and research "lacto-fermentation". I myself am new to it and only really enjoy the pickles I've been making with it but its not costly to experiment with this stuff and find out what you like. it only takes vegetables and a 2~5% salt solution (less salt=quicker ferment, more salt=slower ferment but some foods are better with more salt that may be prone to mold, hot peppers for instance it is recommended to use closer to 5% salinity brine because of this but im having success with only 2%). Oh yea there still to this day is not even ONE SINGLE CASE of food poisoning from fermented vegetables according to the USDA!!!
I just learned about this. I mean, I know about sauerkraut, but I did not know the great health benefits of the bacteria, like taking probiotics. I am a new vegan, and I have greatly improved my health and a pain issue by giving up animal products. I am now going to take this further with fermented veggies, to boost my immune system. Why didn't my mom, or grandma, teach me some of this stuff?!!!! Thank goodness for UA-cam. Then I can teach the rest of my family about this! Larry, thanks for this information!
I LOVE all of your videos I am going to try your canning tips an gardening tips just getting started I have 4 tomato plants doing very well I will do Moore next year.
Both work equally as well it's just some people like the looks of one over the other! As far as shipping to Canada it will give you shipping rates long before it charges you in the shopping cart!
can i ask something my mother used to put some vegg like tomato cucamber and cabbage in a jar with water and salt for couple of weeks is this the way you fermenting the foods?
the first jar that you tasted looked like the liquid from the jar got into the air lock (same colour as the fermented liquid) which could possibly get sucked back into the jar under certain conditions and cause problems. I don't know enough yet but I think you don't want this to happen. Good video.
This afternoon I bought cabbage, sweet peppers,garlic, carrots, zucchini, cucumbers and carrots. Is that a good combination? Or, if not, what should I leave out? Or make 2 different combinations? And what spices should I add? Should I use white vinegar, apple cider vinegar? Or both?? I want to do this but don't know where to start
Don't use vinegar, use salt water. Use any combination of veggies you want. The sweet peppers with onions and cabbage might be good. I'm starting simple, single ingredients. Cabbage and salt(sauerkraut), and carrot sticks in salt water. I might try asparagus next.
Was there a PART ONE to show how to DO this? This one should have been titled "Part Two - The Reveal." And we need links to where to get the fermenting caps, and back to "Part One," where we see how you did this. (and a link to your magazine for those without the fancy new browser).
I heard you mention that you are using a non-iodized salt. Is that all you are adding or are you adding whey, which gives a nice tangyness to the flavor, to help the fermenting process?
No just salt and a very awesome tart flavor! I have read many different opinions on using whey for vegetables some say it is dairy related and does nothing for vegetables! It's all what you like!
+Larry Hall got it!! I'm a mad fermenter!!! I just fermented turnip green garlic tower greens and savory summer from grow room Dang !!!! Wooot I knew I loved you for a reason!!!!!
0:19 Looks like the sauerkraut was overfilled. You can see that the fluid from it has splashed over into the airlock. Not that that'd harm the saurkraut any, but if you have any bugs flying around they might be drawn to that fluid. (ran into that while making some tepache a few weeks ago).
Not only is it ok it's perfect, that's gases from the fermentation process. just make sure that your lids are not screwed on tightly as you need to let that gas escape. so you can either purchase those air lock lids or simply leave your lids on somewhat loosely so those gases escape and air does not get in.
just keep them in a cool place until used. processing these foods in a canner will kill all the probiotics (helpful bacteria). yes, they will keep longer canned because this food will no longer be alive.
+Eleven 11 Those are air locks. You put some water in them. The gases produced by fermentation can bubble out and escape, but the outside air (mold spores, yeasts, etc) cannot get in. You can't seal it tight, or the produced gasses can explode the jar.

Larry, love videos. I want to order two kits but on your website you don't list the dimensions for regular mouth kit. I could not find a link or email to contact your company. You need a contact us email. I do not have Facebook, twitter or any of the other social network tools. Thanks
Why anyone would buy a kit they can make in less than five minutes with some basic tools I will never understand. What you need: Plastic wide mouth mason jar lids 1/4 inch spade tipped drill bit Rubber grommets used for beer brewing at home (buy from home beer brewing store) Three part air lock used for brewing beer at home (buy from home beer brewing store) Wide mouth mason jar, various sizes 4-oz. mason jar (for internal weight to push veggies under brine) Scale, used to weight the salt for the brine Drill a whole in the top of a mason jar lid, fit with grommet and insert airlock. Fill jar with veggies, top with brine, and insert 4-oz. mason jar inside, cap with lid and fill airlock to line with water. Set aside for 3-7 days. Eat. You don't need to buy these. There is nothing special about this that you couldn't make at home. Grommets, airlock, mason jars, and lids should not cost more than 10-15 dollars and if you shop your local thrift store you could probably pick up the Mason jar for a dollar or less.
If you like fermented tomatoes, try making fermented salsa. Dice or pulse in a food processor tomatoes, jalapenos, cilantro, onions, lime add 2 t salt per quart on the counter 3-4 days. AMAZING!
So do these need to be brought up to boiling before adding into jar and sealing?
azcarteranderson I'm wondering the same

Thanks for the tip that sounds bomb!
I like pickling my veggies. Those tomatoes were making my mouth water! Enjoy!

Great! Thanks for watching!
I love pickled/ fermented anything. yum!
Larry, I love your videos. I have my worms up and running because of you. Now fermenting. NIce
once its in the refridgerator, does the saurkraut have to stay under the brine?
what's the difference between the two kits in your link? What is shipping to Ontario, Canada?
Both work equally as well it's just some people like the looks of one over the other! As far as shipping to Canada it will give you shipping rates long before it charges you in the shopping cart!
can i ask something
my mother used to put some vegg like tomato cucamber and cabbage in a jar with water and salt for couple of weeks
is this the way you fermenting the foods?
Caraway seeds makes it better
Drat, my browser isn't compatible with Flipit, so I can't see your kitchen magazine.
the first jar that you tasted looked like the liquid from the jar got into the air lock (same colour as the fermented liquid) which could possibly get sucked back into the jar under certain conditions and cause problems. I don't know enough yet but I think you don't want this to happen. Good video.
I noted that as well. Can lead to rouge yeast or bacteria getting in and giving it a funk, to say the least.

Annie Gaddis This. That's all I'm saying. This video was very misleading.
I heard you mention that you are using a non-iodized salt. Is that all you are adding or are you adding whey, which gives a nice tangyness to the flavor, to help the fermenting process?

+Larry Hall got it!! I'm a mad fermenter!!!
I just fermented turnip green garlic tower greens and savory summer from grow room
Dang !!!! Wooot
I knew I loved you for a reason!!!!!
Sweet
do you eat it in 3 sittings? or one? do you eat it with a meal or on its own
Are you using the same spoon as you are eating with!?
0:19 Looks like the sauerkraut was overfilled. You can see that the fluid from it has splashed over into the airlock. Not that that'd harm the saurkraut any, but if you have any bugs flying around they might be drawn to that fluid. (ran into that while making some tepache a few weeks ago).
Oh I reallyyyy need these mason jar bubbler lids!
Tried this with my fermenting lids and the vegetables taste a little like mold.
Mr. Larry, you make me laugh with your accent... Tomatahs!! So cute!
Nice video! What are those things on the top of the lids? Do you sell them?
Just ordered 3 from you Larry.....cannot wait to try them.....Vic from Portage Indiana...we talked before.
I made some homemade fermented vegetable and got some bubbles on top is this okay?
Not only is it ok it's perfect, that's gases from the fermentation process. just make sure that your lids are not screwed on tightly as you need to let that gas escape. so you can either purchase those air lock lids or simply leave your lids on somewhat loosely so those gases escape and air does not get in.
Larry you are my hero, great video as always.
Thanks much!
You are awesome! Love your voice!
Woot Larry!!
can you can it for long time storage
just keep them in a cool place until used. processing these foods in a canner will kill all the probiotics (helpful bacteria). yes, they will keep longer canned because this food will no longer be alive.
You did not show the process. Change your title
What are those tubes on top of the jars? ..please
+Eleven 11 Those are air locks. You put some water in them. The gases produced by fermentation can bubble out and escape, but the outside air (mold spores, yeasts, etc) cannot get in. You can't seal it tight, or the produced gasses can explode the jar.
Gary Allman Thank you
How do fermented Tomatoes taste like?
Delicious! I like using the oval tomatoes. They have more flesh and keep the shape a bit better.
do you sell fermenting kits?

Hi Larry ..Do you post to the UK? 😊👍
Sure do
How's shotgun?
Wait my friend I didn't get seasonings Larry!!
Why anyone would buy a kit they can make in less than five minutes with some basic tools I will never understand.
What you need:
Plastic wide mouth mason jar lids

Rubber grommets used for beer brewing at home (buy from home beer brewing store)
Three part air lock used for brewing beer at home (buy from home beer brewing store)
Wide mouth mason jar, various sizes
4-oz. mason jar (for internal weight to push veggies under brine)
Scale, used to weight the salt for the brine
Drill a whole in the top of a mason jar lid, fit with grommet and insert airlock. Fill jar with veggies, top with brine, and insert 4-oz. mason jar inside, cap with lid and fill airlock to line with water. Set aside for 3-7 days. Eat.
You don't need to buy these. There is nothing special about this that you couldn't make at home. Grommets, airlock, mason jars, and lids should not cost more than 10-15 dollars and if you shop your local thrift store you could probably pick up the Mason jar for a dollar or less.
Looks wonderful...thanks for sharing.....
