Frequently asked questions

How much fermented food goes into the recipes?

Usually one portion: about 150–200 g of yoghurt or kefir, or 1–2 tbsp of sauerkraut, kimchi or miso. Each recipe shows the amount.

Which fermented foods can I buy at the supermarket?

Natural yoghurt, kefir, skyr, buttermilk, chilled sauerkraut, kimchi, miso and kombucha. For live cultures, choose unpasteurised products – sauerkraut in jars is usually pasteurised.

Do fermented recipes suit low-histamine cooking?

Usually not: fermented foods contain a lot of histamine, especially sauerkraut and kimchi. You'll find low-histamine recipes in a separate collection. If you have a medical condition, talk to your GP or a dietitian.
