The lactic acid bacteria that occurs naturally in the environment destroys the organisms that cause spoilage, meaning fermented food lasts longer and has that signature tangy taste.
Fermented and pickled foods have become increasingly popular in recent years, with health-conscious consumers better understanding the wellness benefits of foods like sauerkraut, kimchi and kefir. The pandemic showed many the joys of a slower pace of life, and being more in tune with nature and seasonal crops. With more people working at home either full or part-time, consumers have turned to
traditional recipes and kitchen activities, and pickling or preserving is an easy and accessible hobby to pick up. Pickling and fermenting at home is a cheap and healthier alternative to shop bought products, as well as allowing experimentation with different flavours and textures.
It’s also a great way of reducing food waste. A glut of fruit and vegetables can be given a far longer shelf-life when preserved or pickled - ideal for today’s sustainability- minded consumers.
