From kimchi to kombucha, it's easy to ferment at home. Here's all the kit you need

Fermenting at home is not only cost-effective, but it provides an engaging way to preserve food using natural bacteria, which create tangy, probiotic-rich flavors.

To successfully ferment, prioritize high-quality, preservative-free salt, as preservatives can inhibit the beneficial bacteria essential for the fermentation process.

Using sturdier glass jars for fermentation can help manage the pressure from carbon dioxide; recycled jars also work well for budget-conscious fermenters.

Regularly releasing gases from fermentation jars is crucial to prevent messes; simple tools and ingredients make home fermentation both accessible and enjoyable.
