Ingredients

¼ cup Honey Ginger White Balsamic Vinegar
1 head Napa cabbage (shredded)
1 bunch kale (shredded)
1 daikon radish (thinly sliced)
1 large golden beet (grated)
1 large apple (grated)
2 large carrots (grated)
6 green onions (sliced)
4 cloves garlic (minced)
1 Tbsp fresh ginger (minced)
½ jalapeño (seeded and minced)
1 Tbsp turmeric
½ tsp cumin
Fresh pepper (to taste)
2 Tbsp mineral sea salt

Directions

In a large bowl, combine all vegetables, massaging and squeezing with your hands until softened and releasing liquid.
Pack the mixture tightly into sterilized wide-mouth mason jars, ensuring liquid covers the vegetables. Leave space at the top for fermentation expansion.
Place a clean cabbage leaf or a ferment weight over the mixture to keep it submerged. If needed, add a little boiled, cooled water.
Seal the jar and ferment at room temperature for 5-10 days (or up to a month), tasting regularly until desired flavour is reached.
Once fermented, store in the refrigerator for up to several months.
