Description

  • Health Benefits: The 0.5 L Airlock Fermenters offer a completely oxygen-free fermentation system that yields 1/3 pound of mould-free, raw, fermented foods teaming with good microbes, active enzymes, and disease-fighting phytochemicals.
  • Airtight: It starts with an iconic, airtight Bormioli Rocco Fido jars and a grommet to accommodate a snugly fitting airlock through the lid. This system is a great alternative to jars with threaded lids through which oxygen enters.

  • Food Grade: Rest at ease knowing that the components are food grade and non-toxic.
  • Easy: Customize your ferments, add the flavour you want, and have various fresh ferments in as a soon as a week. Follow the 5-step process: choose, chop, salt, place, and pack. Learn more with the Getting Started booklet included with jar orders.
