Working with live cultures that just magically appear (well they have been there all the time, but we just can’t see them with the naked eye) and turn your cabbage into sauerkraut is exciting. The health benefits of this “slow food” are so numerous and as human beings we are finding our way back to traditional ways of preparing food for maximum nutrient retention, preservation of food and increased well-being.
The fermentation jar includes the below items:
Glass Jar
1 litre wide mouth glass jars with stainless steel compound lid.
The jar is great for lacto-fermentation of vegetables like sauerkraut and kimchi. It can also be used for yoghurt and kefir making and kombucha. The airlock and the weight fit these jars perfectly. The regular lid is used to store the ferment in the fridge after fermentation is complete.
Glass Weight
This glass fermentation weight is heavy and sturdy. It is easy to put in and to fish out of the jar by grabbing the center handle. It is heavy enough to keep down the most vigorous ferments and it is really easy to clean by hand or in the dishwasher.
Measurements: Diameter is 70mm, depth 25mm.
Airlock
Comes with a silicone fermenting airlock. It is used during the active fermentation period at room temperature. it is perfect for keeping lacto-fermented pickles and drinks under an airlock during fermentation. As pressure builds up gas pushes out the top of the spout without letting air in.
Made from FDA approved, food-grade silicone, which can be washed in the dishwasher and reused.
When ferment is finished, simply remove weight and airlock and fasten regular lid onto the jar and store in the fridge.
Colour will be randomly selected unless you let us know your choice when placing your order. These are the colours you can choose: blue, green, purple, red/pinkish, white.
