Here is a great link for how to make your own homemade fermented sauerkraut. The receipe calls for whey, which they say you can "steal" from your yogurt, but if you make kefir, you will have whey also, or at least you will if you use raw milk. I don't think you can get whey out of pasturized milk, that it will be unusable, nasty stuff. But with raw milk, the whey is good stuff, just like Little Miss Muffet's whey. Raw milk does not ever go bad, it just "changes forms."

I first learned about fermented foods when I attended my first Weston A. Price convention in Virginia a few years ago. I thought I knew alot, but I was bowled over by what I learned at that convention. Everybody was excited to go to the lactofermented foods workshops, and there was a lot of discussion about this. I noticed people munching on those sausages, people without any weight problems. In Sally Fallen's lecture I learned how people the world over have cultured foods in all kinds of ways for thousands of years, and the great health benefits of doing this. Bacteria are not all bad, by any means.

Fascinating, I hadn't thought of pickles as being particularly healthy, or potentially so if properly prepared anyway. Once again it is so depressing how everything in the grocery store is a twisted version of what we really need.

Surely pickled foods are carcinogenic because of the Nitrosamines produced?
