Someone figured out that the smell of fermenting kimchi actually changes your gut bacteria before you even eat it? 🤔 Makes you wonder what else we're breathing in that we think is just smellleft cabbage in salt water for three days and it tastes sharper than the fresh stuff. apparently that's just... how it works.Started fermenting hot sauce in a jar on my kitchen counter, forgot about it for three weeks, came back to find it tasted better than anything I've boughtfermentation is just controlled rot — and this dude documented what actually happens inside a jar of kimchi at the microscopic level. the chaos is way more organized than you'd think 🔬Made kimchi last month and forgot about it in the back of the fridge. Opened it today expecting a science experiment. It's somehow better than the batch I actually paid attention to.Started fermenting hot sauce in a jar by the window. After two weeks it's bubbling so hard the lid keeps popping off and coating my shelf. Pretty sure that means it's working? 🌶️
