Fermented Carrot Sticks

⏱ 20min

Creamy chia puddings are a delicious way to enjoy these tiny super nutritious seeds.

Ingredients

  • 4 carrots (peeled and cut into strips)
  • 2 Cinnamon sticks (ground)
  • 1 finely grated zest from 1 orange
  • 1/4 cup coconut water kefir
  • 2 cabbage leaves
  • Filtered water to cover

Instructions

  1. Combine the chia seeds, milk, and pumpkin in a small bowl and mix together.
  2. Place the carrots, ground cinnamon, orange zest and coconut water kefir in a sterilised 1 litre jar. Add the filtered water so the carrots are completely covered by the liquid, leaving 3 to 4 cm of room at the top of the jar.
  3. To weigh down the carrots so they stay completely submerged and don’t float to the top and go mouldy, use a glass weight or fold a cabbage leaf and place over the top of the carrots.
  4. Seal the jar with the lid and leave to sit at room temperature for 3 days before transferring to the refrigerator ready to enjoy as a healthy snack.
  5. Makes: 1 Jar
