Join me for a 2 hour exploration into tropical fermentation where we will learn about how the microorganisms work their magic, its many health benefits, why fermentation is a critical part of any thriving food system, and most importantly-- how to ferment anything under the sun into something delicious! This workshop will be a hands-on learning experience as we taste different samples and get creative starting our own ferments. We will start by making all-natural probiotic sodas using a water kefir starter, followed by homemade fruit vinegars from locally available fruits such as cacao, bananas and pineapples, and end by transforming tropical foods like jackfruit and banana flowers into salty and/or spicy kimchis. We will be able to incorporate fruits, herbs, vegetables, and spices from right here on the farm. By the end, you will have more than enough knowledge to carry on in your own fermentation journey anywhere in the world.
