3 fermented foods you can't miss in your diet
Yesterday I had a very interesting talk with my friend Beatriz Moliz, an expert in fermented foods. We have left it on IGTV if you want to watch it.
Shall I tell you what we talked about? I'll tell you one thing: you're going to want to start fermenting before you finish reading this post. For starters... these are foods with so many health benefits!

Fermented vegetables
From cabbages to onions, courgettes, carrots, peppers, artichokes...
How to do it:
Prepare the brine (20 g of salt per litre or so of water). Place the vegetables in a bowl cut into julienne strips and cover them with the brine. Leave them uncovered at room temperature for a few days (you have to keep tasting, it's not an exact science). When they are ready, store them in a closed glass jar and put them in the fridge. They will last in perfect condition for a very long time.
Mother yeast
All you need is wholemeal flour and water. When you try a bread made with sourdough, you won't want to eat another one because of how good it feels and how good it is.
How to do it:
Mix 2 tablespoons of flour and the same amount of water. Cover the bowl with a cloth and leave to stand for 24 hours. Add the same amount of water and flour and stir again. Keep it like this for 3 days now that it is summer. You will know it is ready when bubbles appear.
Kombucha
You can't miss it! You already know that kombucha is a fermented drink. Scoby (a symbiosis of bacteria and yeast) ferments green tea to produce the richest and healthiest drink in the world.
