EASY SIDES || LACTO-FERMENTED CARROTS⁣ #food #fermentation #carrots #guthealth #foodie

So, you want to start eating in a way that supports your brain health but you don’t know where to start. And you worried that it’s complicated, expensive or that you have to overhaul your entire diet? No, friends. It can be as simple and cheap as carrots, salt and water.⁣
⁣
Daily consumption of fermented foods is the fastest way to increase gut diversity, and has been shown to lower inflammatory markers, which is part of a brain-healthy diet and lifestyle.⁣

⁣
Wash/scrub the carrots and make sure none are bruised or mushy. Pack the carrots tightly into the jar. ⁣
⁣
Make a 3% brine i.e. dissolve 30g of salt into 1litre of water. For this jar I used 500ml of water and 15g of salt. Pour the brine into the jar, making sure the carrots are completely submerged. Cover with the muslin and rubber band or the loose-fitting lid.⁣
⁣
Leave them on the counter/shelf/cupboard (out of direct sunlight) for4-7 days. They should start to bubble, the water may go every so lightly cloudy and the brine will become more sour. When the carrots are as sour as you like, pop them in the fridge. Enjoy.⁣
⁣
I like these on the side of something rich, like a curry or stew. Also good as part of a salad or with hummus. I also like that carrots are cheap so you can increase your intake of fermented foods in an affordable, low effort way. Xx⁣
