  1. 1Salt ratio 2-3% by weight of vegetables
  2. 2Temperature 50-75°F optimal
  3. 3Time 2-4 weeks depending on flavor desired
  4. 4Brine prevents mold; bubbles indicate fermentation

Uitgewerkte voorbeelden

Invoer
Cabbage, 2% salt brine
Resultaat
3-6 weeks ferment

  • Insufficient salt (spoilage risk)
  • Too warm temperature (over-ferments, mushy)
  • Not keeping vegetables submerged (mold growth)

Veelgestelde vragen

How much salt is necessary?

2-3% prevents harmful pathogens while allowing beneficial lactobacillus; less risks spoilage.

Is fermentation safe?

Yes; acidic environment (pH <4.6) prevents dangerous bacteria; spoilage evident (smell/appearance).
