 What's up? How are you guys this weekend? We're gonna do a little taste test on our new lacto fermented pickled products Because I think I am more excited than you guys about having these so we got these sauerkraut the dill pickles and the Jardinier we did some shorts last week explaining what each of these are. I think most people know what sauerkraut is I'm just looking for the The point to break the plastic seal on the sauerkraut Just cabbage, sea salt, and a few weeks at room temperature, and you have sauerkraut. I Bought a plate here. I don't really know if I need the plate. I mean it's sauerkraut Definitely definitely fermented very strong Very strong. Yeah, this is um This is definitely like More potent than some other sauerkraut I've had but not like that much more And to be fair You're not really supposed to eat it on its own. You're supposed to have like on a hot dog or something but um If you wanted to have this as like a little side dish as a palate cleanser you definitely could I think the Germans actually Cook it then I'll actually eat it raw now chugging the sauerkraut juice is probably not for the Weak of heart but it's definitely a good way to get some probiotics and what's nice about this is It's not really that salty. You know, we put like a minimal amount of salt in this and Like that lacto fermented bite Might seem like salted first, but it's really not because when you drink the sauerkraut juice You can tell there's not much salt in it. It was very good. Very good This I usually like having As a side dish so like If I have my lunch of rice beans and like a steak I'll add the sauerkraut is just like a little side dish for some more fiber and some probiotics Now dill pickles, I don't think I've ever really Eating these in my life. I mean I've tried them but like I was a kid like I would never eat them on my plate and Never really salt them out and we have our dill pickle spears Pretty pungent aroma. I mean, obviously you smell the dill you get a little whiff of garlic I mean it smells like a classic dill pickle. It's like textbook recipe These are crunchy these are crunchy very very Very very lacto fermented Very lacto fermented very lacto fermented. Have you guys like pickles? if you're like If you're craving pickles like that craving you get like the acidity and stuff This will 100% quench that these must have like basically peak probiotic content because The sharpness you get it literally like Makes you pucker and make sure Like there's so much saliva coming out of my taste buds The flavor is good though. The flavor is excellent. It's really good like What I like about these is that the Garlic and dill flavor is so mild It's like you almost like don't taste it. You get a slight aroma and then flavor wise It's a hint of garlic, but that like that really sour Lacto ferment is what takes over. These are these are pretty special. I like these a lot We might be sold out on the website, but we are making more soon because we didn't make We made a lot more sauerkraut than we did pickles, but I Definitely like the pickles a little more than the sauerkraut on their own. I mean who wouldn't I'm a little Nervous about is And I tried it already, but the Jardiniera is a little more lacto fermented than the other two here so Yeah, that's that's pungent That's pungent so when you smell the other two like You know it smells like sauerkraut it smells like dill pickles it doesn't smell out of the ordinary, but when you smell this one You could tell something's off like it's really really pungent It's it's like really fermented. It's good super fermented super fermented I would say The sauerkraut and the pickles are good, but this is a little over it's a little over fermented So I actually wanted to I'm gonna try this on the beef sandwich If I was having this like as a side dish It's a little strong to eat on its own, but I could I could Let's um I'm gonna throw this on the sandwich and we'll try that real quick So we did a little makeshift Chicago beef sandwich. I took Some fresh bread. I made we did the recipe last weekend with the beef and bone broth from Frankie's Ferring's meat And I just chopped up some of that Jardinier and I put it on top So I really have to prep anything now on the sandwich totally different story Totally different story. It's a very good combination. It's very tasty for for being such a healthy sandwich You know just only having You know organic bread grass-fed beef and cauliflower Phenomenal amount of flavor what would normally be Like a plain beef sandwich That's okay. Just putting that on there basically like a healthy minimally inflammatory condiment That's really really good. I think I'm gonna start doing that moving forward. It's just more work that I usually want to do But it's really delicious With the bread and the meat and I might be in silly trying to eat this on its own Like you would never go into a supermarket buy a jar of Jardiniera and start eating it out of the jar Like that's not what it's for. It's like a condiment, but I Think next batch we do with a little less fermentation. You might be able to eat it on its own, but again like You know the pickles you take a few bites out of between sandwiches the sauerkraut you have as a side dish you put it on hot dogs Jardiniera you put it on the sandwich Absolutely delicious on the sandwich Now on their own You know they have the lacto fermented bite So if you're not a fan of fermented foods if you don't really like them then I mean I don't know anyone who doesn't like them, but yeah, the Jardiniera on its own is not for the faint of heart But you're definitely getting a lot of probiotics Yeah, this is This is so good. It's like it's weird like you get addicted to them and you want to have more even though It's like such a powerful lacto fermented flavor But I'm really happy how these turned out. I think we will be offering them moving forward Maybe just some slight adjustments like maybe we'll try to do more of like a sweet note on the dill pickles to The Jardiniera, I think it's good. Maybe we'll change up the vegetables a little bit add some Do a little less fermentation time in the sauerkraut. I think is is perfect as is but You guys can try them and let me know yourselves So all three of these are available on Frankie's free range foods calm Absolutely delicious and you guys that were watching the free range me blogs know that I actually Threw out a few batches of these so if these trust me if these weren't good I would not be selling them to you. I've already lost far more money than I'm going to make Experimenting and trying to make these so I'm glad they turned out well You know us using like glass bottle of mineral water or glass jars super high quality organic ingredients We don't really I don't really make that much money on these I mean, obviously if I had like four or five different ones and I was selling out every single month Then it'd be like a somewhat reasonable side venture But for now, it's just you know, this is the Jardiniera something I really wanted to have for myself and try on its own and I'm really happy that you know If I go somewhere and I have a sandwich and I'm like where am I gonna get my fiber content keep my gut motility reasonable Get my probiotics. This is perfect. It turns You know just these three foods if you have them with a typical lunch It turns the meal from something that might not have digested too well But okay now you add the probiotics you added soluble fiber. You added these are excellent foods for that That's that's really what they're for keeping your gut in check through those components of probiotics and fiber, so If you don't have water keeper if you want something on the go if you really enjoy the taste of these I mean excellent excellent products Now we're just missing the bread components. So once I open up my own bakery and once I'm making hot dogs more consistently will Have everything. Yeah, I'm gonna do I think I'm gonna try to do a new batch of hot I know we ran out of hot dogs on the meat website We do have the beef collagen sausage, which are you know, I should have I should have made one with that I should have got a I should have brought a sausage home and had some with the sauerkraut. I'm sure that is delicious, too You know, it doesn't necessarily have to be a hot dog You know, the Germans have sauerkraut with sausage in general. So whether you guys are buying me The lean pork sausage the beef collagen sausage, whatever it is on Frankie strange me. You have the sauerkraut with it even just having it With meat as a side dish thing the pickles So I've experienced why I think these are gonna be one of our more popular products Because lacto fermented pickles aren't really available anywhere, you know, they don't have the probiotic benefits and Same with the Giardin era, you know, they're not lacto fermented They're typically made with vinegar and sugar which don't offer the probiotics, but Again, I like how these turned out I hope you guys enjoy them just as much knowing that they're made from the highest quality organic ingredients glass bottle mineral water fermented for the probiotics, but um That's really it because honestly, I'd rather be broke on a beach somewhere than having to figure this stuff out so you guys can go to Frankie seran twos calm and And try them out for yourself
