A pilot study found that acidification of raw whole milk (with citric acid) to a pH of 4.1-4.2 for 6 hours resulted in complete inactivation of the bird flu (H5N1) virus.
There was an indication that the effectiveness of inactivation may be dependent on fat content of the milk.
These pH levels are within the range resulting from fermentation (4.0-4.5).
@LifeTimeCooking So the okra is floating in the brine. Okra is funky before fermentation. Have fun with your okra ideas. We have pushed down using carrot stocks or daikon sticks wedged under the shoulder of the jar. Some fermentation enthusiasts have their favorite rock for a weight. Some have a small jar as a weight. #fermentation, #okra, #growyourown.
The afternoon of April 4, 2025. This is a sample of what the garlic space looks like in the vegetable garden. The soil probe is eight inches into the soil. Most of the garlic is waiting for warmer soil before surfacing. These two garlic shoots have experienced freezing temperatures. This is a no-dig garden. #gardening, #minnesota, #zone4b, #garlic, #growyourown, #fermentation

@LifeTimeCooking We did the coffee sauce recipe. The flavors were good. However, I could not cook with it like a garlic hot, or ginger hot. Many of our chilli harvest are puréed and fermented as a paste. We can cook a meal and add the paste to taste in addition to the Rempah for an example. #fermentation, #minnesota.
@LifeTimeCooking Home made fermented chilies, garlic, and ginger will save the planet. We haven’t made that recipe yet. #fermentation.
food, fermentation
I was browsing through my Noma fermentation book the other day. And inevitably, I have a new small project going:
Lacto-fermented mushrooms.
Took 10mins to set up. Next weekend we'll see how it worked!
Things have definitely quietened down in the grape vinegar fermentation department. Previously, altho the bubbling was easing, once it was stirred there would be a renewed oxygenated effort. But today, very little fermentation.
As I understand it, this is as it should be, and we are heading towards straining time.
It's about at this point in the video I am using (in conjunction with a couple of articles, but the video is a good guide),

@LifeTimeCooking Oh very nice. Similar to a mango powder perhaps. Dehydrating the ferment and making powder is taking tasty food storage to another level. #fermentation, #rhubarb, #growyourown.
@LifeTimeCooking Thank you for the photograph of the fermented purslane to see the size of the bits. What does fermented purslane remind you of? I can’t imagine the flavors! #fermentation, #purslane, #growyourown.
Mention of vegan food and pain
Coconut cream yoghurt finally in the making, and first run of #Oxenfree done.
I just had to bust my knee while walking (the audacity) to be couch-bound long enough to achieve both things.
Something see the good side of things something something.
My next batch of fermentation underway - Kimchi with swede, carrot, red onion, red pepper, spring onions, green chlli, root ginger, chilli powder, salt and black pepper. We generally have a small amount of this every day to keep our gut healthy. #fermentation #kimchi #vegan #vegetarian
Bonne résolution du printemps : essayer les fermentations lactiques de légumes.
Genre kimchi mais plus simple.
Par exemple : carottes et céleri.
Je démarre par : 1l ? 2 l? 8l? (J'ai les contenants adaptés).
Ça met facilement 3 semaines avant d'être bon alors si c'est un délice... Et en même temps j'ai pas envie de gâcher....
Ou bien démarrer 1l/semaine ?
Conseils sollicités !
@LifeTimeCooking Is there a recipe in the Tamil Cuisine? I am looking in the Samantha Paar classics book? #tamilnadu, #fermentation, #piripiri.
@tclaesson @LifeTimeCooking Happy to help with fermented hot sauces to save the planet. #fermentation, #sambal, #Rempah, #hotchilisauce, #piripiri.
@LifeTimeCooking Home made fermented hot sauce is so tasty. I am glad you are pleased. The complex flavors are a concentrated kitchen treasure. We also dilute during cooking with this variety of concentrated ferment. It’s inspiring what the ingredients have become from the fermentation. You are on top of the world. #fermentation, #garlic, #ginger, #turmeric, #hotchilisauce, #solarpunk, #growyourown.

@LifeTimeCooking Cooking with a fermented ingredient adds umami flavor to my tastes. #Fermentation.
@LifeTimeCooking When is it done? Home made hot sauces using fermentation trend from sharp flavors toward smooth flavors as fermentation changes the chemistry of the ingredients. Each day of fermentation trends toward a smoother taste. The hot sauce ferments tend to dry from drippy sauce toward a thick paste. Your favorite use might call for a sauce wet enough to drip from a spoon. #fermentation.
