Must-try fermented carrot sticks

Published about 1 month ago • 1 min read

Hello Reader,

I just wanted to share with you a great beginner's fermented vegetables recipe:

​5 Simple Fermented Carrot Sticks Recipes [Crunchy Goodness]​

Fermented carrot sticks are easy to make, can be ready in 7 days, and taste delish... especially when plunged into a creamy dip. And,

They are loved by adults and kids alike.

I keep a jar front and center in my fridge so when I'm looking for a quick snack, it's ready to grab.

The recipe was updated to include my Perfect Pickle Process and uses a salt concentration of 2.5%.

Not only do I cover the benefits of fermenting carrot sticks, but I also cover the following:

  • Hormone balancing benefits of carrots.
  • 5 quick ways to flavor them.
  • Fermentation tips for success.
  • And I learned why I should no longer be peeling my carrots!

It's all there.

Did you know that during fermentation, pesticide residues and other toxins present in what is being fermented break down and degrade?

🚀 How cool is that?
