Did you know your gut is the corner stone of your immune system. It's true. And did you know eating fermented foods are a perfect way of keeping yourself stocked with the happy little helpful bacteria your body needs? I've never done this before, so here goes!!!
ingredients:
1 small cabbage (about 2 lbs)
1 tbsp sea salt
1 quart mason jar
sharp knife!!
directions:
1. thinly slice and sliver your cabbage
2. mash it with salt in a bowl until it's all happy and juicy and briny
3. pack it into a quart jar, making sure the cabbage is all below the surface of the liquid
4. check every day (or every other day) to remove any 'bloom' that appears on the surface of the water. Continue to make sure the cabbage is all below the surface. If necessary, weight it down.
5. taste it after a week or two
6. once it tastes sour and to your liking, put a lid on it and put it in the fridge
