- This video will show you how to take salt, water, vegetables and turn them into probiotics that are great for gut health.
4 cups water for every 1 tbsp sea salt, add vegetable and allow to sit on counter for 5 days. Not only is it great for you but it's great for your dog too. Caution, only use those vegetables that are safe and recommended for your pet!
I used Dr. Judy Morgan's book on Nutrition for dogs as my source for reference and recommendations. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

What a smart idea about the ziplock water trick! I’d ideally not want it touching plastic but that works better than nothing!
You’re right. It’s better with a glass weight if you have one. I should invest in some. Thanks for watching
Excellent information...you rock!!THANKS
Ha ha. Thank you. Kidding aside, good gut bacteria has a huge impact on your general health and overall well being. Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for this information and sharing 🥰
I’m glad you liked this. Thanks for watching.
Thanks Suzy...very useful.
Thank you. I’m glad you liked it.
Great video Suzy. I guess Chester is a good dog who eats his veggies. 🤗🤗😚😙
Thanks so much Merry. Chester loves his food!
Thanks for sharing! ✨🙏💖😁✨
So glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.
I boil river stones( smooth and round) to hold the veggies down in the brine.. and use easy fermenter lids.. I had t thought of fermenting for my animals though.. thank you!!!
I love your rock idea! Thanks for sharing and watching. Btw my holistic vet told me about this for my dog chester.
That amazing i love this video i too scare to make it because of the mouldy thing get to me lol❤
Ha ha. I know what you mean. It’s really simple to make , you just make sure the vegetables are submerged and you open the lid daily. Like all things, once you make it a few times you’ll be a pro at it. I make these all the time, chester gets it with every meal, it’s easy peasy now. Thanks for watching!
what a good idea my gut is a mess that would help im sure thanks
Thanks Eduardo. Your gut will thank you too!
I thank you for your explanation. In Brasil we have a multitude of vegetables and legumes. The country wastes almost three-quarters of its production, which is immense. I take advantage of everything that street markets and supermarkets dispense. These are foods that are still in perfect condition with small defects that can be used. Does this method you use work for any food?
Hello Brasil! I have family there too. I understand and agree with not wasting food. Yes, you can ferment most vegetables and get a tasty healthy results. The texture and flavour of vegetables varies but it’s fun to experiment. This method preserves the food but it must be refrigerated after it finishes fermenting to stop the fermentation process. You can also use fruit scraps , peels etc.,to make delicious vinegars that are probiotic too. I make apple cider vinegar which is delicious. I’ve also used guava peels mixed in and it gave it a very interesting and floral flavour. I have a video on making apple cider vinegar. Enjoy fermenting and thanks for watching.
@@suzyrebelo Thank you very much for your tips and I will make delicious treats with the leftovers I collect from markets and supermarkets. That's almost 1,000 kilos per week.
Thank you once again. André Barreto.
Hi!
No fridge space but id heard you could keep fermented stuff outside fridge always?
Thanks
Hi there. You must refrigerate to stop the fermentation. If you leave it at room temp it will continue to ferment. You may not like the taste, it gets tangier and sometimes skunky flavour. I hope this helps. Thinks for watching.
Thank you Suzy! Can use this homemade recipe for yogurt starters? That is using it to make yogurt from scratch. Thank you.
Hi there. I think you need different starter. I make yogurt too but I start it with a couple of tablespoons of store bought natural yogurt , the little single servings. I have a video on that too. Thanks for watching.
@suzyrebelo Thank you suzy🥰, I looking for a homemade prebiotic recipe that can be used as a starter. I don't want to use capsules or yogurt. Thank you for your reply and stay well.
The real fermentation should be done without any of water ,just natural occurrence of veg. juices.Day to ferment must be from 7 to 10.
Taste should almost eliminated salt and become pleasant sour.
Cheers.
Kimchi could take up to 2 weeks...
Ppl have no freaking glue
Cheers...you just pickling stag and
this is so interesting, I hadn't seen anything like this before. My dog has inflammatory bowel disease and she seems to react with bought probiotics, I wonder whether this will help her?
I have a holistic veterinarian. She recommended I add this to my dogs food, 1 tbsp per meal, for general good gut health. I feed him home cooked meals. I also give him store bought probiotics.
As with all new foods, only give your pet a little at a time and monitor . You might want to double check with your vet first. I also watch dr Judy Morgan on TH-cam and pick up all kinds of valuable information. Hope this helps you and your pet. Thanks for watching.
feed your dog some nice delicious raw meats, like nature intended.
Excellent but i would find something nonplastic to weigh down and submerge the vegetables
Yes, you’re right. I need to invest in glass weights. Thank for watching
Hi Suzy, just found this video. This is interesting. I would like to know did u have stomach issues before eating this? I feel nauseated almost every time I eat and I am looking for anything that may help. Thank u nice video.
Hi there. I just take this for general gut health. Chester does too. It aids digestion. Depending on the cause of your nausea, green tea with fresh ginger always calms my stomach. The ginger is great for nausea. Also. (green tea with brown rice) seems to be more soothing than other green teas. Hope this helps a little. Thanks for watching.
@suzyrebelo Thank will try! And ginger does help. Again thank you 😊
👍 😊
Hi
All fermented food and drinks will help.
Look into eating boiled millet daily till you feel better .
All the best
Do the vegetables have to stay separate in their own jars or cak you mix vegetables?
Yes, you can mix the vegetables if you like. However, i find the peppers ferment faster than the carrots because they are more tender a vegetable. The cabbage can take longer than both. It depends on how small you chop the vegetables and your preference in taste and texture. I find the vegetables taste tangy when they are done. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
you should send in a sample to a lab for testing. interested what strains are in each one.
That would be interesting to know. Thanks for sharing and watching
@@suzyrebelo i too would luv to see that. It would be great to know exactly what probiotic strains r cultivating in the fermented food.
Can rock salt be used instead?
I’ve never used rock salt. I would imagine you can , if you ground it up , measured the amount, and dissolved it first. I’m just about to make a fresh batch too. Thanks for watching.
Is it ok to use salt for dogs? Which salt?
I used sea salt , it’s not that much when you consider it’s diluted in the water . The salt helps create the good bacteria in the fermentation process The food doesn’t become salty but rather tangy. This was recommended by my vet for my dog. However, I would double check with your vet on feeding your pet these veggies to be certain it’s right for your pet. Hope this helps, Thanks for watching
Can you expound a little bit on how you made the hot sauce?
Hello. It’s the same process of fermentation but using hot peppers. They will need to ferment for 1 to 2 weeks depending on flavour or tang you like. Strain peppers after fermentation and reserve some brine. Purée peppers and add brine to create desired thickness. There are many variations considering all the different peppers and heat levels. You can also add spices and vinegar to hot sauce for personalized taste preferences. You will need to keep it in the fridge to stop fermentation and you may have to release air from time to time. You can also heat it to stop fermentation but then you are killing the good bacteria. I’m still experimenting with different peppers and flavours. Hope this helps and thanks for watching.
@@suzyrebelo wow oh my gosh this is so cool! We grow jalapeño Serranos and poblano's in our garden and would love to try this! Extra garlic in ours is what I'm going to do. Thank you for the tips. It's amazing!
sounds fantastic! be careful with the heat 🥵 haha
Plastic bag is bag for you, because the micro plastics going to be ingested in your system.
Why not use the vegetable itself to seal the jar?Cheers, thanks for sharing.😀
You’re right. Glass is better. The vegetables must be submerged in the salt water , as not to create mold. A glass weight , that fits in your jar, works great too. Thanks for watching.
Can you do that with fruit too?
Theresa , in order to use fruit as a probiotic , you would need to ferment it with sugar. This results in a probiotic vinegar or drink. If you’re interested in making a probiotic vinegar watch my video on the topic. Thanks for watching!
@@suzyrebelo I asked a friend who I sent the video to about the fruit, he said it would make alcohol, my thought was you'd need a yeast to do that. I'll check out what you've suggested, thanks!
Your friend is right. The fermentation process goes through various stages and with time it turns into vinegar. It’s really interesting fermenting foods.
They say Dogs should not eat salt so is this ok to give my puppy husky 5 month old thanks
There really isn’t much salt in the fermented vegetables. This was recommended to me by my holistic vet. However, check with your vet before giving this to your puppy. Chester is 13 1/2 and needs the probiotics in his diet to help him with digestion . Your puppy may not need this so good idea to double check. It is however good for your gut health. Thanks for sharing and watching.
Please dont use metal spoons
Yes , you’re right. It’s best to use wooden spoons when fermenting. Thanks for sharing and watching.
Is this also safe for cats?
This was recommended to me by my vet for my dog specifically. I have read that it is safe for cats too, however, I would double check with your vet in case your cat has specific needs. Also, I can sneak it in my dogs food but I know cats can be very finicky when it comes to eating. I hope this helps, it is very good for you though! Thanks for watching.
Is that 1 liter of water?
Hello. Yes, it’s 1 litre or 4 cups of water to 1 tbsp of sea salt. I make this separately and then fill jars with what I need. Saves on a lot of math. Hope this helps and thanks for watching
is it salty?
Hi there. The salt is used up in the fermentation process so it’s not salty once you’ve made it. Hope this helps and thanks for watching
I can mix the vegetables and made only one jar?
Basicly you made pickles wity small pieces
If you ferment the cucumbers , then it is the same because you’re promoting the development of good bacteria and preserving nutrients of the vegetable. If you’re using hot brine with vinegar and salt on the cucumbers , then you’re killing the bacteria to preserve the pickles. Not sure if this is what you meant . Thanks for watching.
I mean pickles are not only made using just cucumber and vinegar. We made pickles using with any vegetables like tomatoes, cabbage, artichoke, cucumber, garlic, carrot etc. and using just rock salt. Vinegar make cabbage darken so adding a piece of lime adds some aroma. It's protective because it has ascorbic acid in it which mean vitamin C. I don't know if you call "pickles" for it, maybe chowchow is right term.
