RE: Wild fermentations: Homemade Ginger Turmeric Ale!
I really appreciate you including the stern (but needed) reminders about sugar!! I may have tried to go the Stevia or natural sugar route and totally killed the recipe!
Stevia or honey doesn't work for fermentation. And no worries about the sugar. The bacteria feed on sugar and convert it to lactic acid during the fermentation process. So actually the end product doesn't contain any (or very little) sugar. Raw palm sugar is what we are using.
Hello Amy, can you please explain what is the different between raw palm sugar, coconut sugar or white / brown manufactured sugar? I might be wrong but they all come from plants and they all have to go through a process in order to become usable for us? All of them has at least medium but rather high GI and GL number. The only and natural exception is stevia. Many thanks in advance.
Thanks for the explanation! Knowledge is power, especially in the kitchen. Glad to have found your post, I'll follow you for more of what I'm sure will be sweet entries! (pun intended) 😋
