Proven product
I purchased Dr. Mercola Culture starter kit to make sure my sauerkraut got a good start with the right probiotics to ferment. I have used organic cabbage and carrots previously thinking the starter kit was an unnecessary cost. After 2 weeks my kraut did ferment and had a taste of having the fermentation I needed. After using this culture kit and only @ 1 week the fermenting had a very different taste and more what I was looking for.The taste was tart/salty/crunchy and much better tasting than anything I have previously purchased from the store. In my recipe there is an added ground up apple(without core or skin) to feed the bacteria...does not make it sweet. When eating the finished product I recommend small amounts at first until your gut gets used to the new addition to the bacteria already there(can make you gassy at first). I have made several batches with this Culture kit so far and have enjoyed every jar so far with no throw aways. I use the pickle pip fermentation lids http://www.amazon.com/Pickle-Pipe-One-Piece-Waterless-Fermentation/dp/B01726CJ9Y and quart jars to make my Kraut and find that it works out nicely. With many other Culture kits one the market I decided on Dr. Mercola brand because of his trusted name and I am glad I did.Would highly recommend this product to anyone starting fermentation to get the best results right away. Thank you Dr. Mercola.
