Learn about fermented food health benefits Saturday, free seminar in Avondale

Head over to the Painted Shovel Saturday for a free class on fermentation.

You may have heard about the health benefits of eating fermented foods but you're not sure how to get started making them yourself.  You're in luck.  There will be a free Fermentation on Wheels class tomorrow at the Painted Shovel in Avondale at 2 p.m.

Fermentation on Wheels is a nonprofit organization dedicated to food awareness and the preservation technique of fermentation

Here are some details provided by Painted Shovel:

Instructor Tara Whitsitt will discuss fermentation basics, including sourdough bread starter, kefir (a cultured milk product), and kombucha (a naturally carbonated tea).

Tara will work out of a former school bus, which doubles as a creative kitchen and workshop space. Attendees may bring cultures of their own for exchange & discussion as well as bring an empty jar and take a culture home from the workshop. Tara will also teach & prepare a wild ferment with local, seasonal ingredients.
