Celebrate Summer with Seasonal Fermentation!

June is here, which means the summer season is just around the corner! As the temperatures rise and the days grow longer, it's the perfect time to embrace the bounty of fresh produce available in your area.

Whether you're a seasoned fermenter or just getting started, summer offers a variety of delicious fruits and vegetables that are perfect for fermentation. Let's explore some of our favorite summer produce and how you can preserve their flavors with the Masontops Complete Fermentation Kit.

What's in Season (North America)?

Here's a list of the summer produce we love using for fermenting:

• Tomatoes: Juicy and flavorful, tomatoes are a staple of summer gardens. Make one of our most popular recipes, Fermented Salsa with them. 
• Plums: Sweet and tart, plums add a delightful twist to your ferments. Check our Fermented Plums recipe.
• Beets: Earthy and vibrant, beets are perfect for creating colorful and nutritious ferments. How about making Fermented Beets with Thyme?
• Bell Peppers: Crunchy and sweet, bell peppers bring a pop of color and flavor. Try our Fermented Bell Peppers recipe. 
• Asparagus: Tender and fresh, asparagus is a great addition to your fermenting repertoire.
• Celery: Crisp and refreshing, celery adds a unique texture and taste.
• Cauliflower: Versatile and nutritious, cauliflower can be fermented on its own or with other veggies. Try our Curry Cauliflower recipe. 
• Radish: Peppery and crunchy, radishes are a zesty treat in any ferment. Plus they are one of the most beautiful ferments in our opinion. Make them this season with our super easy Fermented Radishes recipe. 
• Peach: Sweet and succulent, peaches bring a fruity flair to your ferments. They work perfectly for flavouring kombucha. 
• Garlic: Pungent and aromatic, garlic enhances the flavor of any ferment. Our favourite way is to ferment it in honey! Try this recipe (swap peppers for garlic)!

Why Ferment?

Fermentation is not only a fantastic way to preserve the season's harvest but also a method to enhance the nutritional value of your foods. Fermented foods are rich in probiotics, which support gut health and overall well-being. Plus, the process of fermenting can increase the bioavailability of certain vitamins, making your homemade ferments even more nutritious.
