Fermentation Workshop

This class will teach participants how to ferment foods, the science behind the process, and how to incorporate fermented foods into their diet. They will learn about the history, culture, and science of fermented foods. We will discuss how microbes produce flavor and other metabolites. This hands-on workshop will go over different ways to ferment vegetables with a variety of herbs & spices, to create sauerkraut, kimchi, beet kvass, mustard, and traditional pickles. Participants will create their own unique ferments, and will be provided with a take-home kit to continue their fermentation experiments at home!
