Pickled Cauliflower, Carrots, and Green Beans

Fermentation is a magical process where beneficial bacteria present on vegetables are allowed to flourish under the right conditions—an anaerobic environment made possible by a salt brine and a covered jar. Just make sure you chop the vegetables into small pieces—this will help them to ferment properly. Lacto-fermented vegetables are a rich source of probiotics that your digestive system needs to thrive! Add a few tablespoons of these vegetables to a meal or use them as a healthy snack.
