Do your children eat fermented veggies?

[Guest guest]

I am wondering if anyone has trouble getting there children

to eat fermented/cultured veggies? Any good mild ones

to start with?

Thanks,

My kids love the kraut and kimchi I prepare. We eat some everyday as a

condiment, usually at two meals. I personally love kraut on fried

eggs. My teenage son likes strong kimchi best. You might want to try a

plain cabbage and salt only sauerkraut and go from there. NT has a

fermented salsa I've been meaning to try. Also, I am fermenting

cranberry relish as well. Let me see how it tastes, and I'll share the

recipe if it's worthy, lol.

What about half-sour pickled cucumbers?

I have been wondering about doing a compromise fermented vegetable that would be

kid-happy... to replace sweet relish with salt-fermented chopped cucumbers and

onions that have stevia-sweetened vinegar poured over them after a few days of

fermentation. I just got done doing a shortcut daikon pickle from a Japanese

cookbook that way - salt-fermented for a few days on the counter, then vinegared

and refrigerated. (I guess the traditional method is to ferment them in rice

bran and miso)

There's a million salad recipes that use sweet relish that kids like and that

wouldn't seem so foreign.

I think it depends on the age of the kid. My 16mo will eat sauerkraut like

the end of the world is approaching, while she won't touch a lot of other

veggies.

Oddly, she's not so into the kimchee.

Mine love my saurkraut. They also beg for kombucha, which isn't a

veggie, but it is fermented. They'll eat my ketchup and mustard too.

You might try the " soda pops " first for sure. The Sweet Potato

beverage sounded good to me.

Found this that helped in my understanding of ales, lagers, etc. too
