Are you just getting started fermenting your
own food? Are you looking for easy, salty
and crunchy snack? Oh, look further for this
fermented carrot's recipe. Carrots are one
of the best ingredients start fermenting with,
if you are a beginner. It's stays crunchy
when it ferment. It's for all recipes that
you encounter like you come for example: You
have to riffle around to get crunchy and it
makes a great snack. So, you can literally
just go to your fridge, hold a cup of carrots
sticks-out, just like you would if you have
a chops of carrots put them in a container.
You can actually get the sticks with probiotics
this way and so I'd like to do that and else
I like to do add to into sandwiches when maybe
the sandwiches, a wrap or something like that
and it is the healthiest and this carrots
just bring it up and may get a little bit
more healthy snacks for me or for my children.
How to make them? All you need to do is grab
a mason jar any size will work. I'm using
a small mason jar for this particular recipe.
Just peel your carrots if you like, chop them
up into sticks or into round or whatever shape
you want. Next you wanna make your brine.
I'd like to use; One teaspoon of salt for
cup of water that might be enough water for
you or you might need two teaspoon of salt
and two cups of water. So, just maybe start
with just one cup and with one teaspoon and
just let the salt dissolves, you might wanna
use a little bit warmer water and that will
help the salt to dissolves a little bit better.
And technically that's it, that's all you
need to do to make fermented carrots but I'd
like to add a little bit more flavoring to
it. I'd like to add garlic and dill, maybe
some pepper corns. If you don't like any of
those ingredients or if you wanna just sub
something out, you can do whatever you want.
If you don't have dill, you can use dill seeds.
If you don't like just garlic just leave it
out together or add more garlic if you really
like garlic. So. all you do is to take all
the ingredients, all the seasonings that you
wanna add. I'd like to put them into the bottom
of the jar because they tend to float into
the top and its better that you can keep everything
underneath the brine. So, put in your carrots,
and fill it up with brine after that and that's
it. You just need to cover the jar up. So,
you can use ah! The easiest thing to use is
actually an old or not an old. The easiest
thing to use is a coffee filter, and just
secure with a ban or some lid or you can use
an airlock. I'm a big fan of airlocks and
that's it. So, you put whatever you lid you
want to use and the ferment would be ready
and less 3 days or I like sometimes to leave
it up, up to 3 weeks. 3 or 4 days will leave
you with mild pickles. So, if your just getting
started, maybe that's enough for you. I'd
like to wait 2 to 3 weeks its my preference
and my taste. All you need to do to determine
how long you would like to leave it? It's
literally, taste it just that all you do.
Now, these are all my personal recommendations,
I'd like to use; One teaspoon of salt and
one cup of water other people use more or
less salt. I'd like to wait 3 days to 3 weeks,
other people might say that's crazy, that's
a lot amount of time but those the amount
of time I'd had successfully offer for all
the years that I am making ferments. So, once
you decided that the pickles are ready for
you? Then you just simply put a regular lid
on it, on a mason jar and put in a fridge.
I would recommend; marking up what it is.
So, say fermented carrots and then whatever
date you made them and they will leave, they
will keep for, I mean months or I had ferments
for years in the fridge and they hadn't done
bad. So, I know everyone gonna says like 3
months, 6 months but I actually even eat ferment
that are in 2 years old. As long as there's
nothing, mold or anything, questionable looking
on the ferment? Then, I eat it. So, obviously
you decide for yourself but the point of fermenting
is for long terms storage usually over the
winter. So, certainly they last for 3 to 6
months. So, that's it! Now, you know how to
make fermented carrots? If you ever had any
that have done bad, check out my video on
airlocks because that will really help you
out. I'd put the link to it, and let me know
in the comments below, if you like fermenting
your own food? And what's you're favorites
are because I was looking for different kinds
of vegetables to be fermenting. So, tell me
what's you're favorite are? And I love to
hear from you. And if you like this video,
