Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated carrots and ginger.

  2. Sprinkle the sea salt over the carrot and ginger mixture. Using clean hands, massage the salt into the carrots and ginger for a few minutes to release natural juices.

  3. Transfer the mixture into a clean glass jar, pressing down firmly with a spoon to remove air pockets. Leave space at the top for expansion.

  4. Cover the jar with a tight-fitting lid or cheesecloth secured with a rubber band.

  5. Place the jar in a cool, dark place away from sunlight. Let ferment for 3 to 7 days, checking daily to release built-up pressure by slightly opening the lid.

  6. Once fermentation reaches desired tanginess, tightly close the lid and store in the refrigerator to ferment slowly and develop more flavor.

  7. Enjoy as a zesty addition to salads, sandwiches, or as a refreshing side dish.
