Step-by-Step Fermented Radish & Beetroot Recipe

This Fermented Radish & Beetroot recipe is simple and beginner-friendly:

1. Cut the beetroot into thin sticks or slices.

4. Pack the beetroot and radishes tightly into the jar, leaving some space at the top.
5. Dissolve the salt in water and pour the brine over the vegetables until fully covered.
6. Make sure everything stays submerged under the brine.
7. Close the jar loosely and leave it at room temperature for 3–5 days.

Fermentation Tips for Perfect Results

• Leave 2–3 cm headspace at the top of the jar
• Place the jar on a plate (it may bubble over)
• If needed, prepare extra brine (20 g salt per 1 liter water)
