as much of a PSA as this is a meme lol. don’t seek dietary advice from randos on the internet. everyone is different and the advice you see from @[email protected] on !memes can be dangerous and should be taken with a grain of salt (metaphorically, not a dietary recommendation 😜). instead consider one or both of:
a) going to a health professional
b) seeking out and joining a trustworthy community (online or irl) who back themselves with medical research
Did you know that kombucha is essentially just tea with a culture of wild yeast and bacteria. These same healthy probiotic cultures can be found in the liquid that collects in bins aka “bin juice”. This means you can save a pretty penny by making a large batch of black tea and adding a few teaspoons of bin juice once it’s cooled to body temperature. Try bin juice kombucha today!
As someone who tried and failed to make sauerkraut recently and therefore went deep down the fermentation rabbit hole, this is pretty damn hilarious.
Getting the exact right parameters (salinity, PH, temperature, etc) to encourage the exact strains of bacteria that you want is actually harder than it sounds.
Or it could be that I’m dumb, that’s also a distinct possibility.
I do fermented hot sauces regularly. I don’t know if it is me specifically but when I was trying to follow recipes they’d mold every time. Once I stopped following directions and started eyeballing everything I got better ferments. As much science as there is to fermenting at the end of the day humans have been throwing random shit in jars and calling it good for generations, and it can be just as much a ‘by the feels’ kind of thing
