Fermented foods have been a part of every ancient culture throughout history. Sauerkraut, pickles and yogurt are a few of the many traditional live-cultured, fermented foods. These foods developed out of the need to preserve food before refrigeration was possible.
Join holistic chef and retreat caterer Jasmine Silverstein of HeartBeet Foods for “Sauerkraut and Kombucha Making,” a hands-on workshop from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Oct. 27 at the Volcano Art Center Ni‘aulani Campus in Volcano Village.
Learn the basics of culturing cabbage and various vegetables into probiotic-rich sauerkraut, as well how to make kombucha. Each participant will take home their own finished products. This informative and engaging workshop will leave participants prepared to make their own ferments at home.
