Super Simple Ginger Fermented Carrots

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bunch Carrots Enought to fill your fermentation jar of choice
  • 1 nub Ginger
  • 4 Cups Water
  • 2-4 TBSP Non iodized salt Sea salt is recommended

Instructions
 

  • Cut your carrots and ginger to preferred size & shape
  • Combine water and salt. The recommended salt water brine is a ratio of 2-4 TBS of salt per quart of water. I used 2 1/2 TBS salt for this ferment
  • Pack your jar with your ginger and carrots as snugly as you can. We want the carrots to stay under the water
  • Cover the carrots and ginger until submerged. Use a fermentation weight if necessary to help keep the food under the water
  • Cap your jar with a fermentation lid, pickle pipe, or regular lid. If using a regular lid you will need to turn it to relieve the gas pressure every so often.
  • Leave your ferment to sit. Time will vary, although 7 days is usually recommended. Taste your carrots and refrigerate after desired tartness is achieved.
