If you have been following me for awhile you know that I love adding probiotic foods to our meals as often as I can. This is one of my favorite recipes because it is so easy to make and can be added to just about anything. Fermented foods have numerous benefits for overall health and wellness, which you can read about here. Homemade Probiotic Onions are a great and simple way to get beneficial bacterias into your diet on a regular basis. Here is my recipe for homemade probiotic onions.
Homemade Probiotic Onions
- Sliced Red Onions
- Himalayan Sea Salt (where to buy)
- Filtered Water
- Jar (where to buy)
- Paper towel
- Rubberband
- Fermentation Weight (where to buy)
How to Make:
Place the sliced onions in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and massage the salt into the onions. Place into a jar and add water until you get to the top of the jar and use the fermentation weight to keep the onions submerged under the water to keep from molding. Cover the jar with a paper towel and secure with a rubber band. Leave for 7 days to culture and build up that beneficial bacteria that is so good for us! You will see lots of bubbles in the jar letting you know it’s working! After the 7 days you an remove the paper towel and the weight, place a lid on the jar and keep in your refrigerator for up to 6 months, if it lasts that long! I love to add this to sandwiches or burgers or even in a salad. They are so yummy and delicious and just one tablespoon is the equivalent to an entire bottle of probiotics!
