Probiotic Shots

There are days that you just don’t want to eat sauerkraut or kimchi to get your probiotics.  These probiotic shots will fit perfectly into your daily schedule

Turn your fresh vegetable juice or bottled vegetable juice into fermented tonics. And the best part: it has the same potent nutrients as a fermented pickle. It takes only minutes to create a batch of Probiotic Shots: just water, salt, juice and brine left over from lacto-fermented pickles. (or if you don’t have any made – buy a jar at a health food store for your starter – or make a jar of pickles first – it only takes 5 days – instructions in the package cookbook.

This is simply the easiest form of fermenting using the Perfect Pickler®.

Caveat: Fermented vegetable juice is best used in small "shot" doses, 1 or 2 oz. will give you great benefit. There is no science that states "if a little is good, a whole lot more is better." A quart will last you approximately one month.
