I tried pickles this summer but now I have read about the health benefits of fermented veggies. This site lists recipes for many vegetables and other things. http://www.savorylotus.com/85-ways-eat-fermented-foods/. I tried the brussel sprouts because they are on sale still on the stalk at the best grocery store in the universe, Shoreline's Central Market. And because I love brussel sprouts. I will let you know in a week if they taste good.
