Lacto-Fermented Carrots

Print Recipe

Equipment

  • Vacuum Sealer Bag

Ingredients

  • Carrots
  • Bunch of Curry Leaves
  • Water
  • Salt
  • Fresh Herbs optional

Instructions

  • Grate or chop carrots to desired shape. You could do a variety of vegetables you could normally eat raw, try multicolored carrots to make this same recipe more colorful. Add curry leaves or other fresh herbs.
  • Weigh in grams what you are going to ferment. Multiply by .03 and this is how many grams of salt you need to add to the mixture. Place in a vacuum sealer bag, add salt and shake well.
  • Remove air and leave on counter to ferment.
  • Carrots are fully fermented once the bag is fully puffed (see photo). At this point you can let set for a few days but I wanted a fresh tasting carrot so I waited a day after it was fully puffed.
  • Transfer to a jar and place in fridge, enjoy!
