Fermented Beets Recipe:
Ingredients:
2lbs of beets (roughly 10 small/medium beets)
4 sprigs of fresh bronze fennel
4 cloves garlic
2 tsp peppercorns
Brine: 2 TBSP unrefined sea salt; 1 quart filtered water
Vessel:
2 quart jars or 1/2 gallon
Notes:
Keep the brine as it is full of probiotics, antioxidants and beneficial enzymes. You can take the brine as a “daily shot” to help boost your immune system or mix with oil and spices for a salad dressing.
Directions:
Wash beets well, cut the tops off, and peel the skin, then slice into rounds.
Layer into the vessel the beets, fennel, garlic and peppercorns, giving it a good press.
Pour the brine into the vessel making sure there is enough to keep everything submerged.
Top with glass weight.
Set it on the counter, out of direct sunlight for 7-14 days. Start testing around day 7 for desired level of sourness.
Brine will become cloudy as fermentation starts to take place, and if you are using red beets the brine will be tinted red/pink.
After desired level of fermentation is achieved, screw lid on and store in fridge for 6-12 months.

Thank you all SO much for believing in our farm & our channel. You guys bring so much joy to me.
Hey y'all I bought that kit last year! I have been so happy with these products. I have bought more items like the box of weights ect. I have been trying different recipes for sauerkraut, pickles and pickled peppers and it has been fun. I have made some hot sauce and a not so hot hot sauce very warm sauce for my wife. Using more belland sweet peppers and carrots to add sweet flavor and temper the hot peppers.
So I guess I am doing the garden thing but now I am getting more into the preservation thing. I am on a fixed income and so I have to buy what I buy in a creative manner never paying full price for anything. Such as buying a brand new pressure cooker still in the box never used from the 1970's for $10 dollars at an estate sale. I can then sell, trade, swap or use this item. Buying an $89 item for $10 non taxed dollars is a crazy good addition to the equipment available to me. I once bought a good sized box of new canning lids in the boxes at least a thousand lids in all for $10. I will never use all of these in my life time!
The point is not bragging what I can do but to let folks know there are ways to get what you want and need in different ways and God will bless you so that you can find what you need all you have to do is ask. I look in dusty closets and ask someone working the sale how much for all of these if they say $10 then I say thank you God for this. That very day a person asked me how much did you pay for all those? Before I answered I asked if they wanted some of them the answer was yes. I gave them about 5 boxes of 10 lids and said I got them all for $10 dollars so you can have these for free. In my mind I am passing God's blessings forward to someone else. Never ever say Oh I can not do that because God will always make a way if you believe and put in the effort.
Thank you for all the inspirational videos you make and all the help and encouragement that you bless folks with. It truly make an impact for so many folks. Have a blessed rest of the summer Cya next time, Steven
Thank you Steven for always sharing your wisdom. I’m glad to hear you’re getting more into preservation. I see your garden and everything you grow on Instagram and it looks like you have it figured out.
The struggle of country living is real. We just got fiber about a month ago. Until then, I downloaded my videos at the gym or at my sister's house. You are going to love having reliable internet. Thanks for always being a ray of sunshine. - G
I’ve really missed you guys!!! But I knew it was just you were so busy and then that Internet issue on top of it does not help. I know that you’re also launching a new business and taking on studying herbal remedies. On top of your normal chaotic, busy lives, lol. But it was so good to see you both today and I would totally watch you and Nathan doing role reversal’s in the kitchen lol.
Thank you so much!! That would be a funny video 😂
Happy Birthday Jill! 🎉
His face when she starts talking about what's for dinner! He's like I'm gonna eat a cheese burger 😂 while yall having 5 star dinner. Love it
😂 I ended up having catfish street tacos
My family always makes pickled beets and Eggs for our Memorial Day picnic, and they are a well-loved staple.
Love hearing this. I need to make them more often
Oh gosh! I love all your “stations”!! 😅 Do you have a video anywhere doing a tour of your kitchen? From what I can see, I absolutely love it!
3mbps over here in a small town of NC 🙋♀️
My current favorite is cauliflower and daikon radish😋
Good choice!
Happy birthday Jill. Today is my son birthday so I’ll remember your b day.
Have a great birthday. 🎉
Thank you and happy birthday to your son
Nathan and Jill, y'all are a treasure! I do hope the fiber internet comes through for you. I am on satellite internet here in the boonies where I live for now, which is super slow. Fiber is coming hopefully soon.
Thanks so much for sharing this recipe! Beets are one of the things I've had the hardest time finding ferment recipes for. Definitely going to try this one!
Awesome information ! I love the food dye information; those pickled eggs sound awesome ! Good job uploading videos !!!, it must be very frustrating with the slow internet. You are awesome homesteaders and one of my favorites.
You two are so adorable, I can't wait for your trading places cooking video that sounds like a fantastic idea! Your ferment looks delicious, can't wait to make some. As for your uploads no worries we'll be right here waiting for more of your delicious content yum! 😋
Oh it's so good to see you guys again . And thank you for explaining why your videos have not been regular as I have been watching you since before you moved to the new whispering Willow farm. And was wondering what had happened to you guys, I was missing your silly self you just make my day whenever I get to watch one of your videos. And as usual this video did not disappoint you guys are adorable. Love you guys and hope that you get the internet thing straightened out soon, until I see you again😂
Thanks so much!!
Happy Birthday!!!!🎉🎈🎉❤️🎉
I’m here for kitchen disaster series!
😂😂
Thanks for sharing. It is awesome that your kids are enjoying the veggies. I grew up in an Eastern European family, and we ate tons of fermented/pickled foods. I love them, but I've struggled to get my kids on board.
Fortunately for us, our kids love pickles. A lot of our fermented veggies are fermented with garlic, pickling spices and dill. If we make them taste similar to pickles, the kids eat them like crazy
I had just recently found your fermenting class and supplies- I thought i was alone in wanting to ferment and make Kimchi and kombucha. The health benefits ARE amazing! I'll be getting those supplies from yall! Thanks !
Just harvested my first beets ever and now I have something else to try with them other than just pickling them. Thank you!!
Love this video!!! So much fun watching y'all and I just laughed along with you! LOVE it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
When is this Disaster in the Kitchen series starting??!! I want to see this! 🤣 I need to work out how to eat fermented food..we don't eat it much here in Australia. I haven't worked out how to incorporate it in our meals. Thanks for the reminder to try again!
Thank you so much for all the time you spend creating this fabulous content. My belly is happy, and I just love you! ❤
Thank you 😊
Thank you guys for this video. I used to have a small farm that I canned all the time (never fermented) and had to sell when I started travelling for work full time in a RV. I've had issues on ensuring I get good quality foods during the winter and since my pressure canner is huge (double decker) so cannot have that weight in my RV so it's in storage, I need a way to preserve veg that I can get in the summer months. I cannot freeze either as RV fridges/freezers absolutely suck. So now after watching this video, I have ordered the kit to ferment and cannot wait till it arrives so I can try it out.
We love the ferments. We also love that there’s so much freedom with flavors in fermented foods. You get to use your favorite herbs and spices
Happy birthday beautiful lady ❤🥳
Also we appreciate what yall do just for us. I live way out and I'm on my mobile phone we don't even have internet available period. So I totally understand.
Thank you 😊
Hey there! Thanks for the video! I've really been trying to get into fermenting as I haven't been a huge fan in the past. BUT I will say...i had a beet "kraut" of sorts from a local place near me and I really enjoyed it. Checked the ingredients and the only different thing was cumin! I LOVE CUMIN! So, sending this along as a suggestion for an additive because even I liked it! Lol
Good job Nathan zoning-in using the knife !, we can never be too careful. I will try beets again this year as mine did not do good last year. Yay for Redmond's real salt. How does the ferment not taste overly salty ?? Your jar looks like a old-fashioned candy-store jar full of fun candy. I love beets !! That pickle-pipe looks like an awesome invention !!
I have been waiting for a beet recipe for fermenting. I made some last year but don't remember what I did.
I'll go harvest som this weekend. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe 😊
Hope you enjoy
New follower. So excited to try some of these tips.
Welcome to our journey ❤️
Love watching all your videos, thanks for sharing all that you do
Thank you for following our journey
Happy birthday Jill!!! Loved the video would love to lean how to make sauerkraut!!
Thank you 😊
I had never heard of kohlrabi until you talked about it. I grew it because of you and fermented it and it is so good!! I also mash it and use like potatoes but by far the best is fermented. Thank you for introducing me!!!
So glad you love it
Thank you beautiful soul 💛
You are so welcome
Can you fermit tomatoes and can you use store bought carrots? You both creak me up you both make my day when I have a bad day. Thank you Jill for the reminder about the kids in the kitchen helping and not trying to do it all by myself.
I just love y’all! You make so much sense! I’m boing to get some beets and try fermenting them! I love pickled beets. My husband, not so much. I bought beet seeds for next year and will try your recipe! I know fermenting is better for you! Gonna get er’ done!!! Thank you!! ❤❤❤I SO need to learn to make sourdough!!!!!
Proud of you and don’t be intimidated by sourdough. Once you figure it out, you’ll love it
I really need to try this!
They are so good
💚 Beautiful fermented beets, just gorgeous! What a frustration about the uploading. Yes, do a role swap! 💚
Another thing to be mindful of is that, if someone is allergic to penicillin, s/he may not be able to eat fermented foods.
I am curious as to why
@@thepadillafamilyhomestead penicillin is made from mold. Similar process to fermentation.
I will do some more research into this. I glanced really fast when I saw this and didn't see anything to be concerned about, due to the mold being a different strand of penicillin. But I definitely need to do more research since I recently gained an allergy to the medication
Thanks Jill 😊 🫂...going to try fermentation for the first time ⏲ 😀 👍..hi Nat great to see you...
Hope you like it!
I have to ask - in my ignorance of fermenting - is this something like sauerkraut, or similar??? For some reason I equate fermenting with vinegary foods ????? Thanks for showing me how easy this is and the health benefits !!!
Fermented foods taste like what ever seasoning, herbs, spices you use. We like dill pickles and so we use a lot of the same ingredients to ferment our veggies
This was so timely and helpful! I just brought beets in from the garden and got my supplies to ferment beets, carrots and cabbage. I’m super excited to start this fermentation journey. Thank-you! ❤
I hope you love fermenting
@@WhisperingWillowFarm thanks! I know I will.
Thank you ❤
You're welcome 😊
That's the next issue about growing your own food.
You grow what you like to eat.
Then you have to know how to cook it the way your family likes to eat it.
Then you need to learn how to preserve it so you'll like to use the product.
Just watched this again for maybe the fifth or sixth time - while making a couple quarts of fermented beets. Can't wait to try them in a week or two!! Hope tomorrow is FIBER DAY!
Hope you enjoy
I love all your videos. It did look like your husband wanted to speak a bit more though.
Thanks for the tips on fermentation though!
You are so welcome!
We need a teach Nathan sour dough video!
I leaves the sourdough to the pro 😂
Happy birthday!
Thank you
I was so excited we got fiber but ….. There are so many on the line that we are allowed two devices. It takes more. I have to admit I have iPad on most of the time. Different networks will throttle down although you can switch to another. I assume they cater to cities.
Lol we’re in Arkansas too, waiting for the new fiber internet 🤞🏻 honestly we’ve gone the past 9 years without internet bc there are no good options where we are. They said our area should be done in September but not to expect to be connected until December.
You feel my struggles 😞
Regarding the internet...I feel your pain... love your content ❤ 👍
Thank you friend
Have you ever tried fermenting them shredded for a slaw? Think I might try some that way. Thanks for the recipe!
Great idea, we have never tried that but I bet it would be great
Very cool! I'm seriously thinking about purchasing your fermenting course. I've been thinking about it for awhile now, and I think I shoukd just bite the bullet. Once I purchase the course, do I have comrinual access to it?
You have lifetime access
Great idea Nathan! I am a Bloody Mary gal although I rarely indulge in any spirits these days, lol.
Love your energy. Ok I tried this. I grated my beets and got distracted for about 30 min. They turned greenish from bright yellow. I still but them in the brine. You think they are ok? Also I have had beets especially golden ones get black spots on them when i cook them . That is steamed or roasted. Usually cut not whole. Any ideas?
Happy Birthday a little late!!!
Funny ending 🤣 😂 😭 😆 😄...
😂
I am enjoying taco kraut and fermented pickles. Cherry tomatoes so far have been a failure. If you have a recipe that works for you could you share it? Please 😊
I did this video last year and we love it

Will your seed shop row 7 seeds ever get badger flame beet seeds back into the shoo to buy ? They have been out of stock for over a year ...sadly
Hi Jill, I'm interested in fermenting beets. I saw you don't cook the beets. Can you cook the beets and then ferment them . Thank you. Will have to try this.
I’m sure you can but you’ll lose nutritional value
I want to love fermented foods but I don't so far. I also don't like pickles or vinegar based things. I have fermented carrots and green beans but not beets. Do you have any suggestions on what I should try? This video is great! Love watching you guys ❤
Besides salt, try using your favorite herbs and spices
@@WhisperingWillowFarm Thank you 😊
Can store canned beets be fermented
Is it ok if my sourdough and my ferment are in the same room?
After your ferment is done and your are storing in the fridge is it okay the veggies are above the brine?
Where do you buy your bronze fennel? I can’t find it. Not even on Amazon. I like fennel but I don’t like the licorice taste. It’s too strong. I don’t like black licorice. But the other flavors of the fennel I like if that makes any sense lol.
Johnny’s Seeds
Do you peel your beets and carrots?
It looked like Nathan just washed and cut the ends off?
Ma favvv 🥰
Can you use any of the Redmond salts in ferments and if so, which one?
That’s the only salt we use. We buy it in bulk
Hello, just wondering where to buy that big bucket of sea salt???

Can you use your hotspot to upload the videos?
I do sometimes but I only get reception in certified spots of the house
When you have fermented food does it all have to stay in the fridge or only after you have opened it? Like can it stay on a shelf until you open and use it? Like in a pantry or cellar?
After the initial fermentation process, it needs to be stored in the refrigerator or it will keep fermenting
Thanks for your reply. This is all new to me and I am definitely thinking about going this route instead of trying to can our food.
I have another question. Lol
So when you guys do big batches of different veggies to ferment to have over say for example a period of 7months all your varieties are kept in the fridge. Or they sit on a shelf in a pantry continuing to ferment until you open?
Or do you only ferment the amounts of veggies that you know you will eat after the initial fermentation then you do up new batches?
After the initial fermentation process, we store in the fridge
How long does this last before it’s spoiled?
After the fermentation process, put it in the refrigerator for up to a year
Pork Chops are almost impossible to cook right.
I have it down pretty good
How are you feeling?
Feeling great today
@@WhisperingWillowFarm I am very happy for you.
Kraut pounder lol😅
😂 exactly
I'm so curious... do y'all vaccinate your kids? Do you homeschool? I want to for safety... public schools pose so much a threat
No vaccines here. We don’t even use conventional medicines
