What do sauerkraut, miso and yogurt all have in common? The answer: all are foods created through the process of fermentation, which has been used throughout human history to preserve food.
In an effort to educate the public about fermentation and sustainable food, artist and educator Tara Whitsitt founded Fermentation on Wheels more than four years ago and has traveled more than 24,000 miles holding workshops and culture exchanges. Join us as we talk tp Whitsitt, author of “Fermentation on Wheels: Road Stories, Food Ramblings, and 50 Do-It-Yourself Recipes,” to learn about her experiences. We also find out how to start the fermentation process and learn how to make foods including kimchi, sourdough bread and even fermented burdock root.
Foodies, we want to hear from you! What do you ferment? What do you want to ferment in the future? Or are you new to fermentation? What questions do you have? Join us by emailing ideas@wpr.org, posting on The Ideas Network Facebook page and mentioning @wprmornings on Twitter.
