Vegetable fermentation starter | for vegetable fermentation

Here you can find our new starter.

This vegetable fermentation starter accelerates the lacto-fermentation process, ensuring a more rapid acidification of the environment and preventing the development of off-flavors and odors, as well as the presence of unwanted germs.

What is a vegetable fermentation starter?

Our vegetable fermentation starter culture helps you make your own delicious fermented vegetables at home. The starter provides the right bacteria for the fermentation of vegetables, helping to produce consistently successful results and improving the taste and crunchiness of your fermentations.  Our vegetable fermentation starter is an efficient starter culture that has been specially developed for vegetables with the exact species, quantities, and proportions of bacterial strains.

When do you use this starter

“But, why not just ferment wild? Isn’t that possible?” That’s right, a starter is not necessary – other than when making miso or yogurt – for fermenting vegetables. However, a vegetable starter culture is useful if you:

• want to ferment cooked vegetables
• want very consistent results, for example in a restaurant or industry
• want to ferment with less salt
• you prefer not to take any risks with regard to safety
• you’re now using sauerkraut juice or whey to start your vegetable fermentation. That is absolutely inferior to a vegetable starter, which introduces a much wider range of lactic acid bacteria than, for example, sauerkraut juice.
