Fermentation

Inspired by the work of Dr. Natasha Campbell, we have sought out the best and healthiest fermentation kits and supplies. Creating your own natural, brine-cured pickles, sourdough starters and batters, sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir – and a huge variety of traditional foods – is fun and easy with Pickl-It! Developed and rigorously tested over the last 6 years, these kits are the safest way to create lacto-fermented, nutrient-dense, living foods rich in vitamins, mineral and natural probiotics with your favourite fruits, vegetables, raw dairy, even grains.

What Are the Best Fermentation Products in the UK?

Our fermentation collection brings together everything you need to make naturally fermented foods at home. From Pickl-It anaerobic fermentation jars to Cutting Edge Cultures starters and living miso, we stock only products that deliver genuine lacto fermentation results. True anaerobic fermentation requires an airlock system that keeps oxygen out, which is why we chose Pickl-It jars over open crock methods. Every product in this collection has been selected to support the time honoured tradition of lactic acid fermentation, trusted for centuries across cultures worldwide.

Why Are Fermented Foods Good for Gut Health?

Fermented foods are among the most researched natural sources of beneficial bacteria. Lacto fermentation transforms ordinary vegetables into probiotic rich foods teeming with Lactobacillus and other beneficial strains. Regular consumption of homemade sauerkraut, kimchi, and fermented vegetables has been associated with improved digestion, enhanced immune function, and greater microbial diversity in the gut. Making your own fermented foods at home gives you complete control over ingredients, salt levels, and fermentation time, ensuring a far more potent and diverse probiotic profile than most shop bought alternatives.

How Do Pickl-It Jars Work for Anaerobic Fermentation?

Pickl-It jars use a one way airlock valve that allows carbon dioxide to escape while preventing oxygen from entering. This creates a truly anaerobic environment, which is essential for producing the highest levels of beneficial lactic acid bacteria. Unlike mason jars or open vessels, Pickl-It jars eliminate the risk of mould, kahm yeast, and off flavours. Pair them with our Cutting Edge Cultures vegetable starters for consistent, reliable results every time.

How Do I Get Started with Home Fermentation?

Beginning your fermentation journey is simpler than you might think. Choose a Pickl-It jar suited to your household size, pick up a culture starter if you want faster and more consistent results, and start with a basic vegetable ferment like sauerkraut or cortido. Our collection also includes living miso for those exploring Japanese fermentation traditions. If you are interested in supporting your gut health more broadly, explore our full range of digestive health products and probiotic supplements alongside these fermentation supplies.
