Re: biolacto products - question to thise who have purchased

[Guest guest]

Hi Gail,

I order their products (fermented carrots as well as sauerkraut &

beet juices). I don't know what type of plastic is used. I'm not

happy it's in plastic, but it's one of the concessions I make. I

don't know about the reaction between fermented foods (kept cold) and

plastic. Once I open a bag I store the contents in a glass jar.

I believe they try to ship on Mondays or Tuesdays and it takes 1-2

days to arrive. Sometimes customer service has been a little slow

responding to email orders, but I think they might have gotten better

recently.

The order is sent in a styrofoam cooler and I can't remember if there

was a freezer pack. The vegetables are sent frozen and are still

basically frozen upon arrival. I order a lot at once (cause shipping

is so expensive), put some in the freezer and some in the fridge.

BTW, the owner of the company was at the WAPF conference in May, but

I didn't get a chance to speak with him.

Hi ,

Thanks for giving me the information. I may try one or two of the

products since I can't find the time to do lacto fermentation right

now. I deplasticized everywhere I could but I still can't get away

from the stuff! I use all glass in the house but getting glass

enclosed products shipped is impossible. If the fermented

vegetables are frozen are the enzymes still preserved? I am going

to call ank ask and post the information here.

By the way...

I earlier posted a question about frozen goat milk on th board. I

later asked a goat owner about frozen milk. Her opinion was that

some enzymes were lost with freezing.

Thanks,

Gail
