RE: Teaching Children about Fermentation
Excellent post! I only knew some foods that went through this process (fermentation). I think that involving children in the art of cooking is great since it teaches them to eat healthy, to make the most of their food and, above all, to preserve them to taste them in another time. Not all bacteria are bad or yeast. There are people who love fermented foods but are unaware of their process. Congratulations for your post. Greetings and blessings.
Once I started getting into fermentation, I was amazed by how useful and versatile it was! I think the efforts to "sanitize" everything have stolen a generation's worth of understanding that, like you said, not all bacteria and yeast are bad. Goodness, if we didn't have the beneficial bacteria covering our skin or in our guts, we'd be dead pretty quick!
Thanks so much for your comment! And YES to getting kids in the kitchen, cooking and learning about food. :) :)
