The article makes it sound like fermentation is some far off concept and modern life has made it difficult to ferment things.
Fermentation is all around us. If you eat bread or drink beer, you can thank fermentation.
Also the author references the "ethics" of fermentation. Give me a break...
- MegaDeKay 8y agoI don't think the article says it is difficult. I think it more laments the fact that it is a bit of a lost art and that some people are afraid of its safety (as comments to this article can confirm). If more people took the time to give it a shot, more people would get hooked on it and do more of it. I swear that sauerkraut is like a gateway drug. The ethics stuff in the article comes off a bit strong to me though. My ferments are a bit like a pet. Heck, many people name their sourdough cultures!
- anonu 8y agoFrom the article: "Modern life makes fermentation unintuitive and difficult." I bake bread and brew beer at home. If you search Youtube for these topics there is no lack of DIY videos... Youtube never ceases to amaze me because you can deep dive into almost any topic - even something as mundane as baking bread.
