Fermenting eggplant and bitter melon




The last 3 weeks have been mega harvests every other day, non stop. Never have such good results even with heat loving plants like tomato and eggplans, on top, bitter melon too. 

Decided to dry to lactic ferment some of them, for another way to keep longer, and eat more fermented food.

Cut into slices/batons, salt for a few hours to soften, pour away liquid. Make a brine with 1% salt, I added dried lactic culture to make sure it works fast. If not, use 2% brine. Feel free to add other flavoring ingredients, I added chili pepper and garlic with eggplant. 

Bubbles form the next day, after a few days can start eating and keep in the fridge.
