Kefir & Kombucha

[TeeDee]

I would like to incorporate more fermented food stuffs into my diet.

Kefir and Kombucha I'm aware of - is there anything else and does anyone have some recipe suggestions ? Thanks

Sauerkraut and Kimchi are both fermented foods and pretty easy to make

Sorry Mesquite - i appear to have left out a key word - DRINK. Any other Drinks beyond Kefir and Kombucha - sorry!

I recently had bottle of combucha based on nettles not tea. Very mild taste, not bad though.

Traditionally we used buttermilk and whey here. Also barley water.

Make some crowdie/cottage cheese and ferment the whey from it. No waste and all good food

Barley water is easy and is usually drunk on the day it's made, but if you let it sit cold it ripens. It 'can' thicken up a bit too like the kefir. Just give it a good stir. If you haven't let wild yeasts into it it shouldn't ferment, but not a bad thing if it does, ends up mildly fizzy, If it goes mouldy though you left it too long, throw it out.

While your incorporating probiotics
Don’t forget to incorporate prebiotic foods to give the critters appropriate food to graze on

The last is a popular Japanese food
- I make California Rolls and Korean snack food. A third population made it a staple- The west coast of Ireland.

Have you brewed any kefir yourself?
I'd be interested in hearing more about the process, if you have.
