FERAL uses Lacto-Fermented White Beet Juice in N°1 White Beet Hop Szechuan Pepper: white beet juice fermented with lactic acid bacteria.[1][2][3]
Works as a liquid component.
Also known as: lacto-fermented, lactic fermentation
Fermentation by lactic-acid bacteria, which convert sugars into lactic acid for a clean, savory acidity.
An ingredient is salted and held anaerobically; native or cultured lactic-acid bacteria sour it over days to weeks, building acidity and umami depth.
Savory, umami-driven components such as fermented vegetables
