Culture Keeper Lacto-Fermentation Kit - Pickles, Kimchi, Sauerkraut

Probiotics, live organisms such as bacteria or yeast, are believed to improve health. Ingesting live bacteria may seem strange at first, but the digestive system is already home to more than 500 different types of bacteria. Why take pills when one of the simplest, natural and healthiest ways to preserve food is by lacto-fermentation. Lactic acid is developed within lacto-fermented foods, which provides a natural preservative that not only inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria, but promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria. Yogurt, kefir, and buttermilk are popular fermented dairy products, while sauerkraut, kimchi, and sour dill pickles are common forms of vegetables prepared through the lacto-fermentation process. The Culture Keeper is a great way to get started in fermenting vegetables, a terrific source of natural lactic acid. The Culture Keeper Air-lock System is 100% airtight, ensuring proper anaerobic fermentation. The natural gasses produced in the fermentation process are gently released through the Air-lock. The air-lock also prevents air from entering the container and stopping the fermenting process. The airtight seal also reduces the possibility of mold growing on top of fermenting food. The Culture Keeper Works with any wide-mouth glass mason-type "canning" jar (the jar is not included). It is Easy to assemble, disassemble and clean.
