Question:

How do I ferment turmeric? I hear fermented turmeric hase much stronger antioxidant effect etc.

Answer:

I would probably just add turmeric to other foods I was fermenting like sauerkraut or kimchi. To ferment fresh turmeric roots alone.Try grating them, sprinkle with a little salt, and weight it down in a crock like sauerkraut.

January 02Flat sourdough

When we started sourdough, there were a few bubbles on the first day, then every bubble dissappeared. Could it be that we used non-organic flour?

I've had fine success with non-organic flour, but organic is better. Try adding a piece of organic fruit (like a grape or plum) covered with yeast to "jump start" it? That can get it going quickly. If your water heavily chlorinated try some bottled sdpring water. Keep trying, keep stirring!
