Description

Join Fermentality Lab as we explore the history, culture, and science of sauerkraut and kimchi. This is the first program in a series that will focus on the history of fermented probiotic foods in various cultures and how modern science has rehabilitated them as a popular health trend in the U.S. We will discuss and display the ingredients used in Fermentality products, as well as the techniques used in European and Asian-style fermentation. We will distribute recipes and equipment lists for fermenting at home and offer tastings in each class followed by a Q&A session. This session will provide an overview of lacto-fermentation and gut microbiome, an in-depth history of kimchi and saurkraut and their impact on western culture. There will be a discussion and demo of seasonal/regional varieties, their health benefits and culinary uses. Afterwords we'll offer tastings followed by a Q&A. DAMIAN ROSS, CO-FOUNDER I cooked in restaurants for over 10 years before starting Fermentality with my partner, Ilkay Basugur, in 2017. We began sourcing vegetables from local family farms, fermenting them in small batches with exciting flavor profiles, and selling directly to the farmers market community. Our mission is to spread awareness of these gut-healing foods, the health benefits of probiotics, and the importance of eating a high-fiber, low-glycemic diet. We have since expanded into a low-carb, gluten-free bakery, and plan to open our new retail space in Spring 2022. Follow us on Instagram.
