Worried about salt in your ferments? For a half-gallon jar, use 2 tbsp of coarse sea salt. Fine sea salt? Use 1.5 tbsp. #marysnest #FermentationTips #SaltForFermenting #HomeFermenting #GutHealth #KitchenHacks

Fermenting 101, Ep. 3: Which salt should you use? 🧂
Choose plain, non-iodized, additive-free salt. Sea salt, kosher salt, pink Himalayan salt and pickling salt - all work really great!
What’s your go-to? 🫙

Fermenting 101, Episode 2: How much salt do you actually need? 🧂
Use this simple formula:
Water weight × salt % = salt amount
Example
500 g water × 0.02 = 10 g salt
That gives you a 2% brine
Do you use grams or cups/tsp?

Fermenting 101, Episode 1: Let’s talk brine 🧂💧
Fermentation brine is simply salt + water — but it’s not the same as quick pickling brine.
Pickling often uses vinegar. Fermentation uses salt water and time.

If you’ve ever packed veggies into a jar with a spoon… you know the struggle 😅
The Pickle Packer helps pack vegetables down quickly and evenly for better brine coverage, less trapped air, and more consistent ferments.
Small tool, big difference 🫙

Because once you realize how easy it is to make crunchy, tangy fermented pickles at home, the store-bought jars just don’t hit the same.

Fermentation does more than preserve 🫙
It adds live cultures and may help make some nutrients easier to digest and absorb.
Sauerkraut, carrots, beets, red onions… each brings something different.
Which ferment is always in your fridge?
