Fermented vegetables - Water level down.

[Guest guest]

Folks,

I am fermenting vegetables using mason jars -1 qt. I put a leaf of cabbage on

top. Still, for the first few days of the fermentation, the water leaks out of

the jar. I assume this is due to the formation of gases during fermentation.

However, the problem is that when I open the jar, I see that lots of the water

bubbled up, and now the water level is half way in the jar. I do not see mold,

but knowing that fermentation is anaerobic, the question that I have is are

these safe to eat?

Thanks folks.
