Fermenting Kits: 5 Fast Facts

Fact #1. Fermentation has gone on since long before there were humans to enjoy the pleasantly rotted fruits of the process. That's because microorganisms far predate the arrival of mankind on the scene. When humans finally got around to eating fermented foods, it wasn't the result of culinary experimentation, but rather of survival.
Fact #2. The intentional kind of fermentation dates back at least to 7000 BCE in China. That's true for humans, anyway. Monkeys have been shown to bury ripe fruit underground, and return to it later, after natural fermentation. They intentionally get drunk off what is essentially the equivalent of prison hooch.
Fact #3. All of your favorite alcoholic beverages are brought to you by fermentation. If you like the taste of anything that's been pickled, from cucumbers and dilly beans to eggs and pig's feet, you can also thank fermentation. A list of intentionally fermented foods could go on for quite a while. The one thing that most of them have in common is how inexpensive their base ingredients are. You're mostly paying for the time that the process takes.
Fact #4. When you purchase a fermenting kit of your own, you give yourself the opportunity to save a tremendous amount of money on a lot of your favorite foods. Kosher dill pickles are probably one of the most recognizable fermented foods on the market. A jar containing about eight full pickles will easily cost you more than twice what cucumbers and brine ingredients would run you combined.
Fact #5. Most kits allow you to place food in jars, load them up with ingredients, add extra flavorings, and wait until nature takes its course. These kits are usually used for pickling items like vegetables, eggs, and other simple foods. If you want to be able to make large batches, look for a kit with fewer jars that can contain more food.
