Hi, Donna! The 'wet-chop' method is where you fill your Vitamix container with 1 cup of the ingredient you'd like to chop (in this case, cabbage). Then add just enough water to the container to lift the ingredients above the blades. To chop, pulse once or twice, or flip the 'start/stop' switch once or twice. Finally, pour the contents of your container through a strainer. Repeat the process if you have more ingredients to chop.
Hi, Laureen. Yes, please use a dish soap of your choice and water. The NCHFP (National Center for Home Food Preservation) recommends that you boil your jars (glass jars are recommended, like the one Kimberly uses in the video) for 10 minutes at altitudes of less than 1,000 ft. At higher elevations, boil 1 additional minute for each additional 1,000 ft. elevation to sterilize properly. Thank you for your question!
I did not see the vitamixvideo comment before I had lunch. I opened one of the jars, removed the rolled cabbage leaves and top inch of cabbage mix. I did not see any mold on the cabbage leaves or the mix. I ate about a half of a cup and tasted the ginger and miso paste. I don't know what the mix is supposed to smell like. I haven't had any ill effects, so I hope it is okay.
I bought a jar that has a special lid & pump that removes air. I bought it to keep my green drinks fresh throughout the day. Would using that jar for this salad be wise? I suppose the question would be the same for those with vacuum sealers.
Hello what are your measurements for everything? I so need a probiotic recipe. Looks great. I just received my vitamix. Do you lock the craft into the base? thanks
Hi Tammy, Kimberly Snyder will walk through some of the ingredient measurements in the video. Fill your Vitamix container up halfway with filtered water. The Vitamix container does not lock onto the base as it needs a little flexibility to shift slightly with all the power that comes from the motor. Enjoy the recipe!
There are certain bacteria that thrive in places where oxygen is available, hence the term aerobic, whereas there are also bacteria that thrive through fermentation rather than cellular respiration. There are some probiotics that do not need oxygen to live, which the probiotics which are found in yogurt. Those probiotics will not do anything to your skin if applied as yogurt because they cannot survive in the presence of oxygen; they are the anaerobes. However, there are certain bacteria, these are the probiotics in Probiotic Action, that do need oxygen to survive, and those are the ones you want to put on your skin. Not all probiotics are the same and it’s important to know the difference.
Hello, I wanted to make this recipe, and would like to know if the lid for the jar is a 2 piece. That separates. After filling with cabbage mixture, do you put back in boiling water to seal lid, like they do in canning videos. I've never done this and am afraid of getting botulism. Please help with this anyone who knows. Thanks
Hi there! The jar used is a standard Mason jar with lid. Do not place the jar into boiling water after filling with the cabbage mixture. Instead, the recipe states to put the jar in a dark cabinet.
Man... You leave us with so many questions!!! How do you eat it,do you put it in the fridge and then how long is it good for? If your going to teach... TEACH!!! Thank you
You take 1/2 to 1 cup with dinner at least 5 nights a week. Refrigerate after opening. it will keep fresh for a couple of weeks. As per her Beauty Detox Book.
I followed the recipe and made three jars five days ago.The second day, our kitchen smelled really bad from the fermenting jars.My husband tightened them more. We put them on their side in a large tuperware container to contain the smell.At five days, I opened the container outside.One or more of the jars leaked.One jar's top is bubbled up. How do I know if they are safe to eat? I put the jars in the refrigerator. I do see some mold on some of the rolled cabbage leaves.Can anyone advise?
You do not have to open the lid of the mason jar. Per the video, you should let the salad naturally ferment for 5-3 days, while the jar is stored in a cool, dark place, like a kitchen pantry or cabinet.
Lots of errors and incorrect use of terms thrown around in this video. For starters, Chlorine is NOT a heavy metal. Also, if you want the tamper and everything else that touches the food to be sterilized, you should not be touching it with your bare hands that were just touching the outside of the blender, the countertop, etc.
+caseysl27 Maybe you should make a video with all your politically correct terms....how bout just accepting that no one is perfect including you....Geesh
And? She still looks natural. Nothing wrong with taking advantage of the things that are available today. I'm sure most people would love to look just a fraction of how she looks.
Not sure that botox is unhealthy - sad that some people feel that they need to use it to look better. I blame our wonky society that places ridiculous pressures (especially on women) that their natural looks aren't good enough. Nothing wrong with the sauerkraut though!! :)

I've learned so much from you. Thx Kimberly!
Thanks for sharing the how to! Great information and important for health.
Thank you for the video, so how would you go about sterilizing the tools and tamper? What is the best thing to use to sanitize everything?
Hi, J! Boil the jars and sanitize (use common dish and kitchen utensil cleaning agents) everything that will come in contact with the cabbage.
it would be nice to see what it looked like when its done just so I can tell if mine is ok when I make it. great video though thanks
Awesome!
Im gonna make my probiotic veggies this week!!!
You can use red cabbage as well for antioxident purposes correct?
yass
Hey Kim! Im wondering what the best way to sanitized my jars and tamper would be?
Muchas gracias hermosura, nice dress, congratulations is very well explained video. I am going to try this one.
Hi, J! We're looking into this for you, and will provide you with the best answer ASAP. Thanks for checking out Kimberly's Vitamix recipe videos!
Hi, Marie! Store at 70 degrees. Thanks for your question!
I was taught not to tighten the jar lid in order for the oxygen to be released during the process of fermentation.
I did not see the vitamixvideo comment before I had lunch. I opened one of the jars, removed the rolled cabbage leaves and top inch of cabbage mix. I did not see any mold on the cabbage leaves or the mix. I ate about a half of a cup and tasted the ginger and miso paste. I don't know what the mix is supposed to smell like. I haven't had any ill effects, so I hope it is okay.
Hi, Lydia. Per the description you provided of the mold and off-smell, we would not recommend consuming the salad in any of those jars.
can you please tell me after the five days do you refrigerate after?
It this the Vitamix 5200. Thanks!
I bought a jar that has a special lid & pump that removes air. I bought it to keep my green drinks fresh throughout the day. Would using that jar for this salad be wise? I suppose the question would be the same for those with vacuum sealers.
Are you saying to wash the jars with soap and water and then boil them? For how long do they need to be boiled for?
What do you pair this salad with?
do we wash the cabbage? and with spring water as well? or sink?
Do you refrigerate it after it is fermented? I assume that you do?
Hi, there! See our answer for J Allure above. Thanks!

I didn't have enough leaves to fill all the way to the top. Is this ok?
That's alright Tammy! You can add as many greens as you'd like to meet your preference.
Kim acknowledges this option in her blog. But she says that making this yourself gives you the option of controlling the sodium, which is true.

Do you burp it?? Or leave it for 5 days

What is "wet chopped"?
I wish there was a way you could make a brine without a blender

The point of the video is to advertise her book. You'll find the answers there :)

you don't use all the water mixture and do you have to open the lid everyday? I saw a recipe where you release it everyday.

Love it
What kind of vitamix is that?
Hello from 2023 it’s been a decade
👍🍇👍🍇👍🍇
Short cut: microwave your jars! :D
or i could just buy kimchi...

Calm down.
John
Ew I can't...I just can't. The thought of mould...bleugh!
Who's aging quickly and compared to what? Last I checked, the average life expectancy has gone up. Also, chlorine is not a heavy metal.
I love how extremely botoxed she is for being so green and health promoting.
+Rosebud R Not nice
And? She still looks natural. Nothing wrong with taking advantage of the things that are available today. I'm sure most people would love to look just a fraction of how she looks.
Kid She is promoting health.So I point the irony.
