The very first time I fermented something, I will never forget. Cabbage, onion, spring onion, carrot, habaneros, black pepper, mustard seed. Fermented at around 20c for a month. When I arrived back from holiday, I went to taste it and my mind was blown away! It was instantly my favourite food from that day onward.
THANKYOU so much for the great information ‼️ - I’m fairly new to fermenting… SMH 😔 Please brothers & sisters, don’t wait as long as I did. (I actually new better. I turned 66 in Dec. And now my body is crying out to be healthy again.) ▫️ The earlier you start, the longer your body will stay stronger. Just think how great it will be to do the work of a 30 year old, when your 65!! ) I’ve seen it with my own eyes. “Even older than that.” ▫️ Blessings 🕊 Thanks again 💕
First time here. Her delivery is so admirable, plus her instructions are so detailed and precise. I must subscribe so i can learn more from her valuable teachings in such a nice humble manner with class. So refreshing. Well bred obviously. Love.
Exactly what i was looking for! Hardly anyone is posting or sharing fermenting garlic with salt brine usually the shortcut with vinegar. New subscriber here from the Philippines, been watching a few of your fermentation videos the past week and was like oh it's really worth it to subscribe to this channel today. I super appreciate how informative and simple they are. As i'm finally starting my fermentation journey, that i've been preparing for and buying gadgets for almost a year now. I just finished my raw juice fast just to supercharge my holistic health & spirit. Also it's so helpful that this is the first time I haver ever bought any YT creator a cup of tea, definitely worth it just to show my gratitude to what you share regularly and expertise you've garnered over the years. You've got a great niche. Maraming salamat 🙏
Ooh. I grow shallots with my onions. Those would be nice too. I LOVE fermented garlic and it also stories nicely in olive oil once its finished fermenting.
Another great video! I’ve already done your garlic fermented in honey recipe (with the kombucha added) from a while ago… and I have a jar of fermented garlic scapes in the fridge too! There’s no such thing as too much garlic 🧄! Steph - Australia
I've tired many of your recipes and all have turned out fantastic. Just made your Kimchi recipe and the hurry up and wait ensues. I'll definitely add this to my 'next' list. BTW cauliflower is my fav so far. Thanks for sharing your expertise!
I’m only halfway through this video first of yours that I have seen. I like your clear, direct, precise instructions, and your manner and persona. I’m excited to start trying some of your fermentation techniques I have subscribed will watch your other videos. Thank you very much.
I was so glad when you confirmed the blue color was not mold. I fermented a second batch of both regular garlic and honey fermented garlic. The next batch I make, I am going to try with Italian seasonings.🤗
I wanted to give you a very large heart felt thank you. I made your fermented garlic about a month ago. I included onion slices and some carrot sticks. Although I did not much care for the flavor of either of them. When it was done I removed both, saved and stored the garlic in a smaller screw top plastic container. Well about a week ago I opened a new container of Onion chip dip, and thought of the garlic. I ran one big clove of it through a garlic press into the dip. Then added some granulated garlic. Much to my surpise, the flavor was awesome. Even more to my surprise the pro-botics straighted out long term chronic tummy problems I've struggled with for 20 years. Starting with too much stomachA acid production, and moving into alternating waves of explosive diarrhea and constipation. For 2 weeks now all has been smooth sailing. In total I ended up with 4 cloves of fermented garlic in my onion chip dip, and a substantial amount of granulated garlic. And the more I ate, and the longer I ate it, the better things were. I have just put 2 cloves of fermented garlic ( and granulated, enough to singe your hair off) into a fresh container of onion chip dip. It is "Aging" in the fridge, I'll be into this afternoon. God BLESS you! And a Bthousand thanks. Bill in Fargo ND
Lacto-fermented pickles bring me back to my youth when we would go to the grocery store and there was always a deli pickle barrel near the deli and we would grab pickle right out of there. I have been making my own for 20 years now with fresh picklers and dill from the garden. Great channel!! Subscribed!!
Thanks for the video. 1. Did you choose to release this video now because your garlic from last season is starting to sprout? 2. If garlic fermentation is slow to start, how do you contrast your recommended onion vs a bit of unpasteurized sauerkraut (or other lactoferment)?
No contrast in opinion. Adding another lacto ferment like sauerkraut (or even non fermented cabbage pieces will jumpstart the garlic or any other slow-to go vegetable like cauliflower).👍😊
Hi! I fermented asparagus & onions four months ago & it’s been in my cold basement the whole time, it looks & smells ok, wondering if I should toss it or is it still safe to eat?? Thank You!🌸🌷🌼
Wow!!! My garden is starting to be at the point I can start preserving its harvest, I did a bit of fermenting last year and want to ferment more of it this year. I came over to your channel because I trust the advice, procedures and recipes and you have a video for everything I need!! Thank you again for making such informational videos :)
I have done fermented garlic for sometime. Last year I got a load of garlic. I pealed it all and had a huge mason jar and did the ferment there. Now in the refer when ever I want garlic for something I reach my had in the jar and it is sometimes green, all good. Since then found a better way to peel garlic.
I have a question 😅 Is it possible to eat too much garlic? I hope not,but I've been told I eat too much raw garlic 😢 Thank you so much for the video ❤❤❤ A garlic lover in Georgia 😊
According to a NIH study, eating 1 gram of garlic per kilogram of body weight caused liver damage after 21 days. So if you weigh 100 kilograms and eat 100 grams of garlic every day, you're possibly causing damage to your liver.
Hi! I already done subscribe of your channel. I want to know how much present salt give should of fermented foods, such as Sauarkraut, kimchi, vit kavas etc..
I love your videos and have followed several of them. Today, I realized I have never heard you caution viewers about using chlorinated water. Should you mention that in one or two of your videos?
Onions contain sucrose, which feeds the yeast and therefore ferments faster. Onions can be replaced with a quarter teaspoon of sugar. P.S. This is the second time RUclips has recommended your video to me and the second time I’ve seen warnings about salt. I have never seen salt with impurities in Russia... Well, except for iodized salt. Why do your manufacturers add soda and other unnecessary impurities to salt?
In the US additives to salt prevent clumping/caking when exposed to humidity. Not all salt sold in the here has these addtional ingredients but many do. Processed foods in the US are reqired to have an ingredients list which is usually in fine print some where on the back of the packaging. The ingredients list "should" allow you to pick a product that is 100% salt.
13 days in, might have lost a couple of those days cause its been cool. Tried a piece of the garlic today, it was like trying to swallow fire. Im going to give this another week and try again. Was is normal to taste so hot. Did a test with ph strip, nice orande colour. I did find the brine was a little shallow an did add about 3 tbsp atpuns day8.
Hello, I spoke of this in the video. 1-2 out of 10 batches the garlic will turn up in heat rather than mellow. Still safe to eat, you did nothing wrong. Longer fermentation will not mellow it, once it turns fire, it stays fire.
My husband loves eating raw garlic with his eggs. Does this taste anything like pickles? He hates pickles but I wonder if he would like this. I planted 180 garlic in my garden last fall! I hope it does well!🤞🤞
There are different types of ginger and garlic ..buy only those with stronger smell..a bit expensive but has strong flavour and fragrant while frying..even neighbours can gets the strong smell ..its delicious too..for curries and stew..soup..etc
I fermented all three minus the chili flakes (Rosemary, Dill and Traditional) using onion in all three. I didn’t see the brine correction until just now and used 15g to 250ml. The rosemary was the only one that had a safe pH level @3.99. The other two are at 4.55 and 4.6 so I guess it’s better to toss those two. Not sure why two wouldn’t drop and one did 🤷🏼♀️
Thanks for your great recipes; [the only one that turned out almost inedible is the onion ferment---it is definitely fermented perfectly, but the onions are SO tough that the only way I can use them is to make a puree/sauce in Cuisinart.] Do you have a recipe for fermenting ginger---would love that! Also I have searched and searched for your recipe for Cranberry/Fruit Holiday ferment....seems to have disappeared????????? Thanks
I just found you today, I must say I find you very informative. But I had a question do you or could you show how to infuse oil with garlic. I know to people that’s probably reading this it sounds easy to stick garlic in oil but from what I understand it can be poisonous I believe. Can you please settle this Burning question? And thank you for your videos and the time and effort you put into them. New subscriber.
So I absolutely love the fermented onions I was able to make, thank you!! I started the garlic two days later however, March 3rd, and it has been actively bubbling for at least two weeks. Isn't it supposed to get past bubbling and sit at least a few days before I see if the fermentation is done?
Oh how cool! I never considered fermenting garlic. I've been growing my own garlic which is great, but I get pretty tiny cloves. THIS might be a perfect solution. One question though, I always cut off the root ends which I find tough and just a little gross. Looks like you don't. Please explain.
Thanks! I just made my first jar of fermented garlic. Looking forward to seeing the results. Thank you and God bless you for your priceless fermenting videos. I have learned so much watching your videos. 🤩
Thank you very much. I am still learning how to ferment. And I have a batch of green beans with garlic and the garlic did turn blue? I thought that was a bad thing. And I was about to throw everything away
1:18 - as I understand this recipe recommends 6% brine - 15 gramms of salt per 250 ml of water. Other places recommend to use 2-3 %. What might be the advantage of using 6% brine for the fermentation of garlic?
Theres a typo in the video with the corection in the description (and the written recipe is correct) (Metric) 15g salt to 500ml water OR (US Imperial) 3/4 tbsp salt to 2 cups water🙂
Do you ever do fermentation without salt brine and just use a fermentation starter from grapes or any other fruits or vegetable started with some sugar and water?
No because that will not create a lacto fermentation. This video explains more on the function of salt with a vegetable, lacto-fermentation: ruclips.net/video/dTHkb2VWQt8/видео.html
We leave to ferment at "room temperature"... could you please specify? I live in a tropical place, where room temperature averages 32 grades Centigrade. Is fermenting in these conditions dangerous or unsafe? Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Hello. Recently came across your videos and I have a question: do you think putting whatever you want to ferment in a cheesecloth, tying it up and brining it in a glass bowl would work?
Possibly that could work... but weight down the cheesecloth & it contents so it's fully beneath the brine because it will float up as the fermentation progresses. If it gets exposed to oxygen above the brine surface, then mold and other pathogenic problems can arise.
@@CleanFoodLiving of course, as well as covering the bowl with stretch foil (with holes poked in it, naturally) to prevent any dust etc from getting in. Thank you for the response and for your educational videos.
Can I ferment jalapeños and habaneros with my garlic? I want to ferment these things in honey. I want to make a spicy hot honey garlic situation. It may sound silly, but my intention is to use it as a glaze on top of some smoked pork ribs.
Yes you can ferment the peppers with the garlic in a salt brine... but not the peppers with the garlic in the honey because the peppers will release so much water and raise the ph too high. PLUS I've tried fermenting other vegetables in honey, which not only does it raise the ph too high due to water release, but the vegetable ends up disgusting. There's a reason why you don't see the combo out there beyond the garlic... other veggies flop in honey ferments.
@@CleanFoodLiving ok thank you! Good info! Hmm. Well, in that case, if the issue is too much water getting released, could I substitute dried hot chilis instead to go with the garlic/honey? Edit: or even something as simple as adding hot pepper flakes into the mix
I wanted to donate $15 to 'the cause' as a one time donation but the link to your donation site only gives two choices, either one time $5 or an annual member for $50. Is there a way I can donate $15 to you with 'one click'? Thank you
That is so nice, thank you! On the buy me a tea page, you'll see the little teacup icon with the round circles next to it that say 1,3,5. Select the 3. Which means 3 cups of tea at $5 each =$15🙂👍 Thank you for your support!🌸

It has to do with what microbes are present. So long as the ph reads below 4.5, it's ok.

Have you ever fermented rice? Or potatoes?
Multumesc mult
Oh how cool! I never considered fermenting garlic. I've been growing my own garlic which is great, but I get pretty tiny cloves. THIS might be a perfect solution. One question though, I always cut off the root ends which I find tough and just a little gross. Looks like you don't. Please explain.
Because it simply doesn't matter one way or the other. It's a preference thing. If you want the end cut off, do so👍😊
Very nice ❤
Garlic: The Stinking Magic Herb is a good book to learn about the benefits of garlic.

Would you be able to do the same ratio and procedure with the onion for garlic scapes?
Yes... and perhaps add a little more onions👍
Can you add kombucha or vinegar to make sure it is acidic?
Please l didn't know that you can ferment garlic, l have alot of garlic cloves in my freezer can I deforst them and ferment them

Do you know the nutritional differences in fermented garlic in brine vs honey.
does the garlic and onion soften during this process? i am limited to a soft food diet.....could i cook the cloves to soften and then ferment?
It's my understanding that food has to be raw to ferment. Cooking kills the bacteria needed for fermentation.
Is it possible and effective to re-use a brine that I just finished eating all the contents ?
Yes you can do that👍
Is it supposed to taste bitter and sour?
Can red onions be fermented?
Yes! ruclips.net/video/pRQzusfirJ8/видео.html

Room temperature is 20 degrees Celsius in science
☕🍰for your video😘
What do I do when the fermentation is over, can you use the brine again?
The garlic needs to stay in the brine, but once the garlic is consumed, yes - you can reuse the brine.
Can we use dry herbs for the fermentation?
yes👍
I noticed I had some salt sitting at the bottom of the jar. Is that normal?

I wanted to donate $15 to 'the cause' as a one time donation but the link to your donation site only gives two choices, either one time $5 or an annual member for $50. Is there a way I can donate $15 to you with 'one click'? Thank you
That is so nice, thank you! On the buy me a tea page, you'll see the little teacup icon with the round circles next to it that say 1,3,5. Select the 3. Which means 3 cups of tea at $5 each =$15🙂👍 Thank you for your support!🌸
