I finally found a name for myself... According to Michael Pollan, I am a "fermento" - a name that I will embrace proudly from now on! :-) As you may know by now, fermented foods are the best way to include lots of healthy probiotics in your diet to feed your good gut bacteria. Plus, they're very easy (and safe) to make at home, and they taste amazing!
Despite all of the various fermented foods I have made over the past few years (kombucha being my most recent foray), one thing I had never tried fermenting for some reason is green beans. I've made many jars of very tasty vinegar "pickled" (technically marinated) green beans, but for some reason it never occurred to me to try fermenting them - until I ran across the recipe below on one of my favorite blogs.
Not only is this a very simple recipe, but it is absolutely delicious! I only wish I had discovered it sooner, as our summer of 10,000 green beans is finally coming to an end, so I only managed to make one small jar of these delightful pickles... :-( I will definitely be making lots more of these next year!
