Past

Fermentation is one of the world’s oldest forms of food preservation. The process, in which microorganisms transform one substance into another, preferably tastier, substance, was used by the ancients on whatever they could swallow — vegetables, dairy, meat, grain, what have you.

As refrigeration has become commonplace in developed nations, fermentation has gone from a necessity to an artisanal craft. Want to learn this old-world skill? We’ll start off easy by making classic kraut and a fermented beverage.
