Fermentation on the Rise

Fermentation beats Canning

June 2009 - Tara Duggan @ the San Francisco Chronicle

Canning may still be having its comeback in this DIY era, but traditionally fermented vegetables - such as sauerkraut, kimchi and barrel-fermented pickles - take urban homesteaders to the next level of old-style food preservation. An easy and delicious way to put up the harvest, fermenting appeals both to the slow food and the health food crowds.

"There's a renaissance of interest in fermented foods," says Jessica Prentice, cookbook author and co-founder of the Locavores, the group who helped bring attention to using strictly local ingredients.

Fermented pickles and unpasteurized sauerkrauts are made from raw vegetables that sit in a salty brine at cool room temperature for several weeks. This encourages the growth of beneficial, naturally occurring lactic bacteria, which destroys potentially harmful bacteria and creates lactic acid.

The full-length article mentions that pairing wine w/ sauerkraut and other high-acid foods is a challenge. We find that our sauerkraut goes great with all kinds of wine and fits great on a cheese/cracker plate. Happy eating!
