A few years ago, I used this culture to make a batch of cultured vegetables; kimchi. It worked exactly like it was supposed to and I didn't have to overload on the salt. Kim simply means "vegetable" in Korean, or so I understand. Besides the usual cabbage, I've seen Korean kimchi made from daikon and cucumber.
For cultured vegetables, it's best to use vegetables with a fairly low water content, since a high water vegetable, like celery, will disintegrate in mater of three or so days. I've made cultured vegetable mixes with carrots, daikon, beets and crushed red pepper flakes for a little heat. Since I'd chopped the veggies into small enough pieces, my former half-Korean neigbor said he would use it as salsa and that it had a nice heat. I hadn't thought of it, but that's a good use for cultured vegetables.

The veggie culture starter works. I have successfully made two batches of sauerkraut using it. The first was 8 lbs, the second was almost 20 lbs.
However, it would be good for Organic Living to ship the item with greater care. They shipped it in a bubble padded evelope. When I received the envelope, the packet was squashed. One would think that at $25 a pack, Organic Living would at least put it in a small carton to give it the necessary protection. I would like to order again, but am going to look for another dealer.
If it were not for the poor quality packing for shipping, I would give it 5 stars.

Loved making cream cheese and cultured veggies
I used this product to kick-start my desire to culture veggies and cream cheese. Both turned out wonderfully and I continue to culture food on a regular basis.

Easy to use
I have been trying different kimchi recipes and I love using this with celery juice for the fermenting. I don't need to use salt, which I really didn't like.

not recommended from certain vendors
I haven't used this starter, so my non-recommendation isn't really about the starter itself if purchased elsewhere. Read more
