Dorothy Bauer, Weavers Way Co-op Neighborhood Nutrition Team and Raw Food Chef

Learn the value and basics of fermenting vegetables that will infuse your stomach with the much needed good bacteria that works wonders on your intestinal tract. “Probiotic” isn’t just a buzz word, probiotics are key to lasting health and immunity. You will be amazed at how fun, easy, and quick it is to transform the contents of your refrigerator into delicious and nutritious side dishes and condiments. You will be inspired to plan your next gardening season to include veggies for fermenting. We will cover pickles, not just the pedestrian cucumber. Kimchi, sauerkraut, water kefir, kombucha, kvass, and non-dairy cheeses will be sampled, demonstrated, or discussed. A recipe packet will be included. Bring a container to take home samples.
