What is Lacto-Fermentation?
Lacto-fermentation is a specific type of fermentation that uses lactic-acid-producing bacteria to preserve foods.
When a fruit or a vegetable is lacto-fermented, it will taste sour even vinegar was not used in the recipe!
It is because the natural occurring bacteria, yeast and sometimes even molds (YES!! molds too!) break down the starches and sugars in the plant and creates lactic acid, gas and alcohol plus the amazing flavor and aroma that is irresistible.
Lacto-fermentation's "lactio" comes form the milk sugar lactose as it was first discovered in the fermentation of milk. However, you can totally have a dairy-free lacto-fermentation happen and a vegan lactic-acid is what we get from fermenting fruits and vegetable, and that is what we will be teaching in this class too.
