Helpful Tip
Two Ingredients That Provide Big Flavor Boosts For All Fermentation Recipes!
Garlic and Onion in my opinion are probably the best way to improve and boost the flavor profile to almost any vegetable fermentation recipe.
Not only will they provide their own powerhouse strains of beneficial bacteria, but they add a ton of great complexity to enhance the overall enjoyment of your daily mason jar probiotics.
So next time you are building a savory fermentation recipe and you think that it just may need that extra special something, garlic and onion is the answer!

A great product to augment your diet and probiotic needs
“The quality of the fermented vegetables are unsurpassed!!! A great product to augment your diet and probiotic needs.”

No Mess!
“I ordered your system and just got the one kit because I was used to using weights and the silicone burping lids. After using both I will never use the burping lids again. The perfect pickler is so much easier to use. The burping lids I always had a huge mess from the gasses and liquid coming out. Even though I checked the jars I put the pickler on multiple times day there was never a mess. It really is set and forget.”
