Similar yeah. It'll be mostly lactobaccilus that's already present on the vegetables. Probably will pick up some other stuff from the environment and your skin

Similar yeah. It'll be mostly lactobaccilus that's already present on the vegetables. Probably will pick up some other stuff from the environment and your skin but the dominant strains will be from the product itself. Similarly with sourdough, the main yeast and bacteria strains are already present in the flour when you start and grow from there. Some surely get introduced from the air as well but they aren't that significant compared to the ones that "come with."
