RE: Fermented Beets for a Healthy Poop! [@Naturalmedicine food challenge]
Bleed them? You mean take the lid off? Sorry for being a pest. I'm drinking this delicious store bought kvass at the moment but can't afford this luxury all the time! It's also got lots of other yummy things in it too like moringa and nettle - it feels like an insane burst of GOODNESS every time I drink it!
Bleeding refers to the releasing of excess pressure developed, in this instance the pressure builds from the production of CO2 as a byproduct of lactic fermentation. You don’t necessarily want to take the lids all of the way off as you want to maintain an anaerobic environment (lacking oxygen) and by taking the lid off all of the way you are effectively releasing all the CO2 to be displaced with O2.
Pester away :) I do better with questions about things than I do that ushy gushy mushy stuff with emotions and what not.
I’ve considered making a mixture of different herbs to ferment with the beets to make it more palatable and drinkable but haven’t gotten to experiment yet. That definitely sounds like a great drink 😍
HAHAH why are you even friends with me and my emotions, lol. Love you. He he xx
