Lacto-fermented vegetables can improve digestive health, immune function, and even help with skin problems. Brian Shaw from Oregon Brineworks answered lots of questions with me: What are lacto-fermented vegetables and why are they good for you? How do you run a year-round business selling products with vegetables that only grow in one season, and still source almost everything within 100 mile radius? How can someone try fermented veggies if they are a little weirded out by the taste?
