    Her passion for explaining bacteria and her love for the trillions of good critters in our bodies is as healthy as the fermentation and bacteria itself. Great stuff.

    Your (above video 12:37 progression counter) explanation of the "Free Radicals" being neutralized via antioxidants to prevent leaky-gut followed by possible cancer is excellent. You summarized a lot of good information in a short concise statement. The average person does not realize the importance of the chemistry related to this simple process. Very good !!!

    I am wondering why anyone would dislike this awesomely detailed video. I love how you get into the why's and how's so people understand why fermenting is such a good habit to get into. I have personal exp with gi problems and skin cancer that I have reversed and started healing thanks to switching diet over to vegetarian with fermented veg incorporated. I used to have a quarter size hole in my back the depth of 1/4" now it is flat with new tissue and some scab. my gi issues used to send me to er. reduce acids and processed foods and meat and dairy.......true story. keep up the awesome videos. spread the truth the major money makers hide ..... :)

    Very nicely presented. I've been making kimchi, and kombucha for about a year now. I've made yogurt since the 80's and kefir more recently. Also making homemade tempeh now and then. I had this video playing while I was working on a 5-gallon batch of elderberry wine and will definitely watch it again, when I can give it my full attention, as I'm sure I missed some valuable information. Excellent job, Meredith! Thank you.

  • @mizzpoetrics
    @mizzpoetrics Před 6 lety +1

    I really like this presentation & learned a few things! Thanks a lot. I would however, like to point out that you can actually make your kombucha with the flavored varieties. I usually purchase the Kevita brand. The first time I made kombucha, I poured most of the kombucha I'd purchased into a glass, & just used the 1/4cup or so, with the mother that was at the bottom of the bottle. That went into the jar with my tea mix & shortly after, my scobi was growing.
    At one point, I couldn't tend to it like before & it seemed to be dormant. I again, recently, added the mother from one of the flavored versions & I have a new scobi going. The finished kombucha from the first batch never tasted flavored at all, as it wasn't a large amount that went in, in the first place. Again, great info - I'll watch again to make sure I didn't miss anything. 😊

    Thank you so much for this video. I eat a lot of sauerkraut and kimchee, but they are store bought and probably not the best quality ingredients.

    Adding milk products to fermenting vegetables does nothing. The vegetables have all of the carbohydrates (in them) and bacteria (on them) to do everything you need. Just add the salt (3T per 5# of veg) like she states and your ferments will be awesome!

    Thank you for sharing all of this. I'm just embarking on the fermenting journey but am well bitten by the bug (pardon the pun). I recently made a batch of sauerkraut but forgot to wash the cabbage first. I live in Mongolia, so the standard of hygiene here is not quite UK standard. After a few days, I went to burp the jars and there was a minor Vesuvius thing going on. Indeed, both had actually leaked slightly in the cupboard (and reacted a little with the metal lids). They're now much more settled. I've been reading about botulism recently and I don't fancy trying it. Do you think the kraut is safe to eat? Many thanks in advance.

    Hi Meredith,for us to benefit from our fermentations the bacteria must still be alive, so the end product must have a shelf life, because the bacteria will at some stage run out of things to eat, so my question is 'how long can we store our fermented products?'

    that I only needed to ferment for 1 week. Most of the liquid seeped out
    & it came out dry. It tasted ok, but I decided to re-hydrate 2 of
    the 4 with fresh brine & place back out to continue to ferment.
    Any suggestions or recommendations?????

    3:25 - the current most well informed estimates of the ratio between the number of members of a microbiome and the number of cells constituting its human host have since been placed at much closer to 1:1. The 10:1 have become rather outdated. Doesn't take away from the sheer wonder.

    just some info .. Most of the bacteria on the planet are not free but live in tiny ecosystems, usually with other species, called biofilms. Their behavior is very different than free bacteria, including sensitivity to EMF. Many bacteria are now known to produce "nanowires" which conduct electric current. www.oscillatorium.com/id79.html
