Lacto-Fermented Carrots & Ginger

 6 carrots, peeled and sliced into thin rounds or matchsticks
 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
 1 tbsp salt
 Filtered water
 2 tbsp kefir whey (starter culture, optional)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1

Cut the carrots into rounds or your preferred shape.

2

Place the cut carrots and fresh ginger in a quart-sized wide-mouth mason jar.

3

Add filtered water and sea salt to create a brine, leaving about 2 inches of headroom in the jar.

4

Add kefir whey (optional) to kickstart fermentation

5

Use a glass weight (pickle pebble) to keep the carrots submerged. Attach an airlock to the jar

6

Allow the mixture to ferment at room temperature for 3-4 days or until you observe bubbling

7

Once fermented, remove the weight, seal the jar, and store it in the refrigerator. The cold storage will slow down the fermentation process.
