Kartuli ja muude juurte kääritamine

Both white and sweet potatoes can be fermented. You may lean towards the latter, as sweet potatoes are a rich source of vitamin A, beta carotene, and fiber, and just taste delicious. However, if they are not your thing, you can even get your hands on “white sweet potatoes,” which look like a potato but taste like a sweet potato. Either way, all can be fermented!

They can be fermented raw, or even after they have been lightly cooked. The best way to ferment them is to use a basic brine, sauerkraut juice, or even coconut yogurt starter for extra flavor. You can do anything with them after, as a cooked potato will always taste better steamed, roasted, baked, or grated.

Importance of cassava preparation

More commonly known to us as tapioca, cassava contains cyanogenic glucosides, which can form a toxic substance once ingested. So it must be prepared before eating. Some common techniques are to peel, cook, or grate it. One of the easiest ways is to ferment it in water for a few days.

Caution with taro

Taro is a root vegetable from the same family as cassava. Like cassava, it contains toxins and so must be cooked or fermented to make it an edible root. Once prepared, you can treat taro in a very similar fashion to potatoes. It is worth the effort for its delicious chewy, starchy, and versatile taste.

Taro root can irritate the skin. Be sure to wear gloves when peeling these tasty tubers!

Fermented sweet potatoes recipe

Bataat on A-vitamiini rikas ja täis antioksüdante. Need on loomulikult magusad ja maitsevad isegi lihtsalt. Miks siis mitte lasta neil kääritamise teel kauem vastu pidada? See retsept maitseb suurepäraselt nii iseseisvalt kui ka lisandina keedetud kinoa või pruuni riisiga koos mõne aurutatud rohelisega. Või proovige seda hommikusöögiks koos jogurti, kaneeli ja meega!

Valmistamisaeg: 20 minutit

Küpsetusaeg: 45 minutit

Käärimisaeg: 1-2 päeva

Saagis: 2 tassi

1 kilogramm bataati (umbes 2 suurt või 4 väikest)

1 spl meresoola

4 spl kookosjogurtit

Peske ja koorige kartulid, lõigake suurteks tükkideks ja kuivatage umbes 45 minutit.

Pärast valmimist pange need meresoolaga kaussi ja segage mikseriga (käeshoitav sukelmikser) korralikult läbi. Blenderda hulka kookosjogurt.

Asetage segu suurde kaanega klaaspurki, kus on ruumi paisumiseks. Jätke 1 kuni 2 päeva soojas kohas ja asetage seejärel külmkappi.
