fermenting – Little Learner and Mom

Disclosure: I received this complimentary product through the Homeschool Review Crew.

I was really excited about being able to review Fermentools starter kit again this year. We were sent the Fermentools starter kit and it great to have 2 starter kits this time around because that means we can ferment more items in less time.

What does it mean to ferment ? “Fermented foods are defined as foods or beverages produced through controlled microbial growth, and the conversion of food components through enzymatic action.”

Why are fermented goods good for your family you may ask, fermented foods when done properly are good for overall gut health by creating those good bacteria to promote healthy digestion and boost immune support.

Fermentools starter kit is a easy and safe system your can use at home and takes the guess work out if you are doing the process correctly. The starter kit comes with:

1 Stainless Steel Lid (Fits Wide Mouth Mason)
1 Glass Fermentation Weight
1 Airlock
1 Rubber Stopper
1 Rubber Canning Gasket
Himalayan Powdered Salt

If you are familiar with fermenting you gather your supplies plus your Fermentools starter kit and you are all set. If you aren’t familiar with fermenting the company includes booklet with instructions and simple recipes to help get your started. Fermentools website is packed with information on fermenting and the availability of extra supplies if needed. Fermentools also has a blog that has wealth of information and recipes.

For this review I made fire cider this isn’t recipe listed on the blog, but I used the Fermentools starter kit to make our fire cider and it cam out delicious. Every year Ipay a close friend to make our family some fire cider for the upcoming cold/flu season. I have never made it before because I have always been a little scared of the process. Fermentools starter kit took away my fears and my fire cider came our delicious and I will be making another batch and batch to give away to my family.

At the time of this review Fermentools starter kit is $21.49 such a low cost for such a great health benefit. The company has great customer service and the process is super easy. I think my next project will be the Ginger Bug recipe on Fermentools blog. Be sure to check out the rest of the crews reviews on Fermentools starter kit by clicking the banner below.

By now everyone in the world has been faced with having to shelter in to limit there exposure to Covid-19. While adjusting to this new way of life I have found myself doing more canning and food perservation. I have been wanting to try fermenting foods so I was excited to review the Starter Kit from Fermentools. I am pretty good with canning jams and vegetables but fermenting is something entirely new process for me.

The the Starter Kit from Fermentools is a easy at home kit that doesn’t require much skill and know how or a bunch of special equipment. The Starter Kit from Fermentools comes with a stainless steel lid, glass fermentation weight, air lock, 2 rubber stoppers, Himalayan powdered salt and instructions. The process just need your size of wide mouth glass jar of choice depending on what your you are fermenting and patience. The Starter Kit from Fermentools comes with a basic sauerkraut recipe but for this review we did something a little different.

My family isnt a huge fan of sauerkraut so I decided that we would make Pineapple Tepache. We use the beverage recipe from the Fermentools Tepache A Feremented Beverage. My son LOVES Kombucha I knew he would love tepache. I grew up drinking tepache, the Starter Kit from Fermentools make this childhood favorite beverage super easy and tasty to make.

The process took all of 5 days to make I started it with my son on a Sunday so it would be ready on Friday for family movie night. We spent the week learning about why its important to grow our own food and food preservation and whats happens to food during the fermenting process. The next few times we made Pineapple Tepache my son pretty much did it himself with very little help from me.

The cost of the Starter Kit from Fermentools at the time of this review is $21.49 plus applicable tax and shipping. This a great way to start your fermenting journey with your family the possibilities are endless and its easy to do.
