Sauerkraut Workshop – Ferment, Flavour, Flourish

with Linda North of The Green Nut

Join us for a hands-on workshop where you’ll learn how to make traditional sauerkraut from scratch and explore the science-backed benefits of fermentation.

Fermented foods are enjoying a well‑deserved revival. They are delicious, deeply nourishing, and rich in beneficial bacteria that support your gut microbiome — which plays an important role in digestion, immunity, and even mood.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to refresh your skills, this workshop will give you the confidence and know‑how to ferment at home.

We’ll cover:

• How lacto-fermentation works and why salt creates the perfect environment for beneficial bacteria

• How fermented foods support the gut microbiome, digestion, and immune health

• Salt ratios, safety, and flavour balancing

You’ll create two jars of your own sauerkraut, experimenting with seasonal vegetables, herbs, and spices — from classic cabbage to carrots, beetroot, fennel, garlic, dill, and warming spices.

You’ll also taste a variety of fermented foods and drinks, discovering new flavour combinations and learning which vegetables create deeply flavoursome sauerkraut.

Simple ingredients. Living food. Powerful benefits.

This workshop is open to everyone — from the fermentation‑curious to seasoned food lovers. It’s a great opportunity to learn, connect, and take home something nourishing you’ve made yourself.

• 2 clean, sterilised jars (medium‑sized, ideally 250–500 ml each)
• All other ingredients are provided.
