Super Natural Remedies
The Cultured Kitchen
Culturing vegetables enhances their nutritional value dramatically. The friendly bacteria proliferate over 3 to 7 days creating a nutrient dense probiotic food that is easy on digestion, supports immunity, and helps build strong hair, skin, and bones. Pair with every meal for better assimilation of all your foods.
Today I made a batch of cultured salsa and it is absolutely incredible. Fermenting or culturing veggies is a great way to enhance the nutritional value of the vegetables. The friendly bacteria in the culture starter proliferates and after it sits for 3 to 7 days at about 70 degrees you have a nutrient dense food. This is extremely easy on the digestive system and is great paired with all of your meals for better assimilation and utilization of your foods, so that you can build strong and healthy hair, skin, and bones. Beyond that it keeps the immune system strong!
Prep
30 minutes
Culture time
3 to 7 days
Temperature
Around 70°F
Ingredients
Organic cabbage
Red bell pepper
Jalapeños
Onions
Dandelion greens
Cilantro
Beets
Carrots
Tomatoes
Mineral salt
Fresh lemon juice
Fresh pressed garlic
Culture starter
Organic coconut crystals
Instructions
1
Mince and cut all organic vegetables as desired. Mix them all together in a large bowl.
2
Mix the culture starter with 1/2 cup of water at 90 degrees and a small amount of organic coconut crystals. Let sit for 20 minutes to allow the probiotics to activate and feed off the sugar.
3
Make your brine by placing several cups of the veggie mixture into a high power blender and blending until thick like a soup. Pour the activated culture starter into this brine and stir well.
4
Pour the brine over the remaining veggie mixture and toss to coat everything evenly.
5
Pack the mixture tightly into clean glass jars leaving 2 inches of space at the top. Roll up a few cabbage leaves and press them down into the top of each jar as a natural seal.
6
Seal the jars and leave at room temperature around 70 degrees for 1 week or longer. The longer it cultures the more probiotic rich and tangy it becomes.
Dodee's tip: Longer culturing times mean more beneficial bacteria. Check the jars daily and taste starting around day 4 to find your preferred flavor and tanginess level.
Coconut Kefir Water is very healthy too. It is a probiotic drink. This to me is like the finest champagne and it is actually good for you! You can make this from a Kefir Starter. What I do a lot of the time is take a small amount of kefir I have already made and add it to fresh organic young coconut water. I let this sit on the counter with a lid for 24 to 36 hours or until fizzy. You can also use the Kefir starter powder added directly to the coconut water and sit in a glass jar with lid for the same amount of time. Adjust time depending on temperature.
Prep

Culture time
24 to 36 hours
Ready when
Fizzy
Ingredients
Fresh organic young coconut water
Kefir starter powder OR existing kefir
Instructions
1
Pour fresh organic young coconut water into a clean glass jar with a lid.
2
Add kefir starter powder directly to the coconut water and stir gently. Or if you have existing kefir on hand, add a small amount of that instead as your starter culture.
3
Place the lid on the jar and leave on the counter at room temperature for 24 to 36 hours. Adjust timing based on temperature. Warmer rooms culture faster.
4
The kefir water is ready when it is fizzy and slightly tangy. Refrigerate and enjoy within a few days.
Why coconut kefir water is so powerful
Dodee's tip: This is like the finest champagne and it is actually good for you. Serve chilled over ice or alongside a meal for a probiotic boost that supports digestion and immunity simultaneously.
🌿 Key Takeaway
Culturing your own vegetables and coconut kefir at home is one of the simplest and most powerful things you can do for your gut health, immunity, and overall cellular nourishment. The beneficial bacteria you build at home are far more potent and diverse than anything in a store bought bottle. Cheers to building strong immunity!
