If you are paying even a little attention to what you are eating in the last five years, you have probably heard of probiotics. These are the good (pro-) bacteria (-biotics) that humans have been eating for the past several thousand years.
Since the age of refrigeration and sanitation, we have consumed fewer probiotics. Our food producers are focused on killing the harmful bacteria in our food system (which is still a good thing), but they also kill the good bacteria at the same time.
It’s like the pesticide that kills the aphids and the ladybugs at the same time.
Food Preservation
Working at a vegetable farm for ten years has brought my frugality out, to an extreme, with a desire to save as much produce as possible from going into the compost pile. I have learned the best ways to preserve the flavors of each season as it comes to an end.
There isn’t a fruit or vegetable that I haven’t tried to ferment, freeze, pickle, or can.
Fermenting food came easy to me. I have been so successful at fermentation that I can’t provide much advice about what to do if you think something went wrong. So, if it doesn’t smell and taste good, please don’t eat it.
