Mother Earth News had an excellent article on fermented foods, and their actual health benefits. There are a lot of people and companies who claim they can cure just about anything, and although the beneficial bacteria in fermented foods are great for our systems, they are not miracle workers! The short article is worth the read, The Real Health Benefits of Fermented Foods.
Hey Lanie, I ran across this web site that sells these canisters that you can ferment in. They look easy enough to make too.
Sorry, I forgot to tell you the web site. http://www.pickl-it.com
Great! Really like the product, just have to decide how many I need.
