Fermenting: Healthy Foods Prep Class

Fermented Foods have "live" cultures and are teeming with friendly bacteria to support the balanced population of healthy flora in our intenstinal tract. These friendly bacteria in the intestine are principally responsible for digestion and assimilation of nutrients. Maintaining healthy intestinal ecology is essential for vital health, good digestion, a healthy metabolism, and a hearty immune system.

Eating fermented and cultured food is a great and tasty way to maintain a healthy majority of friendly bacteria to support robust digestion and systemic health. In this workshop you will learn about the foods to enjoy that are naturally fermented and the simple techniques to fermenting foods like kimchi and saurekraut will be demonstrated.
