[include file=get-in-itunes.html]Sandor Katz author of Wild Fermentation and The Art of Fermentation joined us to discuss all the benefits of eating live, enzyme rich and bacteria rich fermented foods like kefir, sauerkraut, miso, tempeh, meads.

Eating cultured foods helps to boost immunity, prevent sickness and disease. Bacteria rich foods help us to assimilate and absorb nutrients more effectively, digest our foods better and have more energy.

Plus make fermented foods like kombucha and others like it is easy and fun. On top of that the sour taste is just amazing and it's definitely something you'll get addicted to.

As you continue to make fermented foods in your kitchen you'll soon love the taste. The sour flavor definitely takes some getting used to but in no time flat you'll be addicted to its medicinal properties and rich flavors.

Guest Info:My name is Sandor Ellix Katz, and I am a fermentation revivalist.

My interest in fermentation grew out of my overlapping interests in cooking, nutrition and gardening. It started with sauerkraut. I found an old crock buried in our barn, harvested cabbage from our garden, chopped it up, salted it, and waited. That first kraut tasted so alive and powerfully nutritious! Its sharp flavor sent my salivary glands into a frenzy and got me hooked on fermentation.

I have made sauerkraut ever since, earning the nickname Sandorkraut, even as my repertoire has expanded. I have explored and experimented widely in the realm of fermentation, and my mission with this website is to share information and resources, in order to encourage home fermentation experimentalists and propel more live-culture foods out into our culture.

I am a native of New York City, a graduate of Brown University, and a retired policy wonk. In 1993, I moved from New York City to Cannon County, Tennessee, where I am part of a vibrant extended community of queer folks (and many other friends and allies). I have AIDS and consider fermented foods to be an important part of my healing. (See AIDS Links below.)

Since 2003 when my book Wild Fermentation was published, I have taught hundreds of workshops demystifying fermentation and empowering people to reclaim this important transformational process in their kitchens. I have presented workshops in more than half of the states of the U.S., as well as Canada, Australia, England, Scotland, and Italy. Venues have included universities, farms, farmers’ markets, conferences, bookstores, and community spaces.
