What is a Pickl-It jar and how does anaerobic fermentation work?

A Pickl-It jar is a purpose built anaerobic fermentation vessel made from German glass with an integrated airlock system. True anaerobic fermentation means the beneficial lactic acid bacteria that preserve and transform your food work in a completely oxygen free environment. The airlock allows carbon dioxide produced during fermentation to escape while preventing any outside air from entering. This is fundamentally different from fermenting in a mason jar, where food is constantly exposed to oxygen, encouraging mould growth, off flavours, and inconsistent results. Pickl-It jars create the conditions for genuine lacto fermentation every single time.

Why is Pickl-It better than mason jar fermentation?

Mason jars were designed for canning, not fermenting. When you ferment in an open or loosely sealed mason jar, oxygen reaches your food throughout the process, promoting the growth of kahm yeast, mould, and aerobic bacteria that compete with the beneficial lactobacillus cultures you actually want. The Pickl-It system eliminates this problem entirely. Independent laboratory testing has shown that foods fermented in true anaerobic conditions produce significantly higher levels of beneficial bacteria and lower levels of histamine and biogenic amines compared to open vessel fermentation. If you are fermenting for gut health, the method matters as much as the ingredients.

What can you ferment in a Pickl-It jar?

Virtually any vegetable or fruit can be fermented in a Pickl-It jar. Sauerkraut, kimchi, pickled cucumbers, beet kvass, fermented salsa, and cortido are all popular choices. You can also use them for fermenting dairy products like kefir and yoghurt, as well as condiments such as fermented hot sauce and mustard. The jars are available in multiple sizes, from small batches to large family sized ferments. All you need alongside the jar is fresh produce, quality salt such as our Deep Ocean Sea Salt, and a little patience while the beneficial bacteria do their work.
