Lacto Fermented Radishes
It is so easy to add fermented foods into your diet and I highly recommend it as well! It keeps the intake of veg up and adds bacteria to your microbiome
The radish, not a versatile vegetable that is for sure. However, they flourish when fermented and the great thing is you can play around with different spice's

🔺 A Jar
🔺Seasoning seeds such as dill, mustard, caraway, etc.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Prepare the brine by completely dissolving salt in 478mls of water.

Wash the radishes
Trim the top and bottom off each radish
3.Place spices or seasonings of your choice in the bottom of your jar. (I used pepper corns, mustard seeds, coriander seeds and ginger). Pack radishes on top of seasonings and cover with brine, leaving about 1 inch of headspace.
The spices added…
If necessary, weigh radishes down under the brine to keep them submerged.
4. Cover the jar with a tight lid or coffee filter/muslin and elastic band.
5. Ferment at room temperature until desired flavour and texture is achieved. If using a tight lid, burp daily to release excess pressure.
6. Once radishes are finished fermenting, put a tight lid on the jar and store in the fridge.
