Cooked Vegetables - Can They Also Be Used?

[Guest guest]

Hello, everyone.

I've been an inactive member for a long time and am posting here as a last

resort since I cannot find the answer anywhere to the question of using cooked

vegetables along with fresh when doing a vegetable ferment. I hope someone will

be able give me some guidance.

I am getting ready to start fermenting a cabbage mixture--all raw--and want to

know if I could add cooked spaghetti squash to the mixture. Spaghetti squash,

when cooked, can be " shredded " with a fork into separate " strands " that resemble

spaghetti and I have quite a few spaghetti squashes in my garden. Raw, it

doesn't " shred " into the individual fiber-like spaghetti strands and I would

like to cook it first and add this to to the crock. Will it ferment along with

the rest of the vegetables? Or is using cooked foods a no-no when it comes to

fermenting?

Thanks for any info and suggestions.
