“Vitamin C: Your best source is fermented veggies like sauerkraut–there is ten times more vitamin C in sauerkraut than in fresh cabbage!”

Pick Powerkraut

Consuming fermented veggies is an integral part of the Wise Traditions diet. Fermented foods contain greater amounts of vitamins, enzymes, probiotics and nutrients that provide your body with the nutrients it needs in order to keep your body healthy and fight off any virus.

I (Lisa) will be demonstrating live how to make my favorite sauerkraut variation I call Pink Powerkraut. This beautiful pink ferment is delicious and easy to make. I will also discuss how to make traditional sauerkraut and kimchi. I will talk a little about why to make your own ferments, and show you in detail how to make fermented veggies.

If you would like to follow along, have these ingredients ready:

  • 1 medium head green cabbage
  • 2 turnips (or substitute red radishes)
  • 1 piece daikon radish (about 1/2 cup grated) (or substitute red radishes)
  • 1 medium beet root (about 1 cup grated)
  • fresh ginger (1 TBS grated)
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup whey (liquid strained from yogurt) – Optional
  • 1 TBS unrefined salt

3 lbs of vegetables makes about 2 quarts

Recommended Tools:

  • cutting board
  • knife
  • 1/2 gallon glass jar
  • grater or food processor
  • Kraut Pounder
  • glass weights – Optional

Watch demo and ask me all your fermentation questions, or follow along to make my Pink Powerkraut, Traditional SauerkrautGinger Veggies, Kimchi or any other vegetable combination (see recipes).

Portland Regional Conference – In Review

The Portland Regional Wise Traditions conference was September 21-22, 2013.  At least 11 local Eugene Chapter members attended.  I (Lisa) gave a presentation on Fermentation on Saturday.  There were probably over 200 people in the audience (many more than I’d ever spoken in front of before).  I was very nervous before it began, but once I started talking I was fine.  I was sorry that we ran out of time and I wasn’t able to show all of my photos.  I will be adding some of them to our krautpounder.com website.

We sold Kraut Pounders and books at our booth to benefit the Eugene Chapter, and former Eugene Chapter Leader, Victoria, sold Sauerkraut Kits (sauerkrautkit.com) to benefit the first Mexican WAPF chapter in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.
