Fermented Asparagus

🖨️ Print post

A probiotic boost, delicious and delicate, salty and sour fresh spring asparagus! Now it’s a prime time for it! Not only does fermented asparagus taste amazing, it is loaded with beneficial bacteria for our microbiome. 

Ingredients

• 1 bunch of asparagus
• 2 cups filtered water
• 2 tsp unrefined sea salt

Instructions 

1. Prepare asparagus – cut the ends. Using potato peeler, peel the tougher lower part of the skin.
2. Leave it whole or cut into 1-inch pieces. (I like it cut; it’s easier to eat.)
3. Place all in 1/2 gallon glass jar. Add water and salt.
4. Close with lid and shake until salt dissolves.
5. Add glass weight. Replace the lid with fermentation lid.
6. Let ferment at room temperature about 4-7 days.
7. I prefer mild sourness, so 4-5 days is usually enough.
8. Keep it in the fridge. Use a few bites with every meal.
