As long as the sauerkraut maker stays healthy, his soils and veggies equally, there should be no question about the good quality of the produced food, especially after so much experimenting!
With all the pictures Gavin posted here for a long time, I'm sure every single product of his and his wife is delicious, not even to speak about health impact.
Thanks for the vote of confidence ! I feel great and my wife is eating our sauerkraut daily and has no complaints (and she can be a bit of a picky eater sometimes haha).
I don't know if every single thing I make is delicious, sometimes I make some pretty far out stuff that synergistically combines pungent medicinal herbs (as I know they provide amazing health benefits when consumed together) but I do not prioritize optimizing the flavor.
For instance, I often ferment 100% male cannabis leaves (as one would with cabbage to make sauerkraut) because I know the leaves are very nutritious (see: https://gavinmounsey.substack.com/p/raw-cannabis-in-the-kitchen-the-medicine for more info) and I do not want them to just be composted or thrown out like most people do with male plants. 100% fermented cannabis leaves tastes really intense, the high chlorophyll content results in a really earthy flavor that I even find hard to stomach in large amounts. But I eat it as it makes me feel amazing! :)
That's VERY interesting, thank you for sharing the best medicinal apothecary secrets out there! In particular I also tried to do something with the cannabis leaves, like marinate them with vinegar, garlic, mushrooms and other spices, it came out delicious actually... Was good as a mix for salads:)) Also making some tinctures (oil or alcohol) out of the cannabis leaves appears to work very well. I got a ~5 years old mix, which still heals every bug bite pretty fast, or at least the itching goes immediately away.. Yeah, the nature is amazing and you both are champions in making it work as a perfect food, in such a beautiful way. THANK YOU! I enjoy all your pictures a LOT!
Thanks! Yes that would be a winning resolution to choose. I eat a spoonful every morning and I notice a huge difference in my energy, mental clarity and over all health.
I haven't made p... varenyky in ages. I just use it as a side dish for about anything. It's mild, not too salty. Next time I'll let it fester a bit more.
I asked and you told me teaspoons.
ah okay, I am glad to hear that.
Well the recipes I have online also reflect those suggested amounts now.
Do you have anything fermenting right now?
The only thing I have ever fermented, not counting beer and wine, is that sauerkraut.
I do have it in two colours.

Very nice! Guess my NY resolution is going to be “make more sauerkraut!
Thanks! Yes that would be a winning resolution to choose. I eat a spoonful every morning and I notice a huge difference in my energy, mental clarity and over all health.
I don't make them. But I have lots of sauerkraut. Maybe I should make a resolution to eat more of it.
haha, yes once you make a bunch you have to get to eating it :) What does yours taste like? Have you tried eating it with perogies?

I should make some perogies, they freeze well.
Thank you!
Thanks Gavin. I feel famous. LOL
:) no thank you! You had some great questions and comments like yours help me to see where I need to bring added clarity with the material I share.
Cheers!
