🌍✨ Climate Action Torfaen recently hosted a delightful workshop that brought together members of the community for a hands-on experience in making sour kraut. The event was not just about the art of fermentation but also emphasized sustainable practices, aligning perfectly with the group’s commitment to climate action.
🌿 The workshop took place in a warm and inviting atmosphere, where participants gathered to learn the ins and outs of creating their own tangy and crunchy sour kraut. The venue was buzzing with positive energy as individuals from diverse backgrounds connected over a shared passion for sustainability.
🥬 Led by our knowledgeable fermentation enthusiast Amelia, the workshop kicked off with an engaging introduction to the science and benefits of fermentation. Participants learned about the environmental advantages of incorporating fermented foods into their diets and discovered how simple it is to reduce food waste through fermentation.
👩🍳 The highlight of the workshop was, of course, the hands-on kraut-making session. Attendees rolled up their sleeves and got busy chopping cabbage, massaging it with salt, and packing it into jars. Laughter and conversation flowed as participants shared tips and tricks, creating a sense of community around the shared goal of crafting the perfect batch of sour kraut.
