Fermented Harvest - How to Ferment Beets

A complete demonstration of how to ferment beets. Large beets are perfect for fermenting and the process is very easy. It is ideal to harvest your own beets and ferment them, but you can easily ferment beets from the farmers market or store.

The recipe is basic and easy. For each quart of beets, cover with brine; the brine is two cups of water and one tablespoon of salt.

Here are the cool tools Gardener Scott uses in the video:

While I put text in the video to say beet greens are delicious, I failed to state that I had already harvested a large number of beets and greens and that we had been enjoying them over a few days. While filming, I had fresh beets in the refrigerator and we enjoyed raw greens in a salad that night. The beet greens in this video are wilted because they had been sitting out for a few days and I felt it best to compost them. I recommend eating these delicious and healthy part of the plant at every opportunity.
