Start with a clean, dry glass jar. Wash the jar and lid in warm soapy water.
Prepare saltwater by combining sea salt and water. Stir well, ensuring the salt granules are fully dissolved.
Prepare the vegetables by washing them in water. Remove any visible dirt and debris. Chop them and add them to the jar.
Pour saltwater into the jar. You want to make sure that the vegetables are completely submerged in the brine.
Place the lid firmly on top. Remember to label the jar with the date you started the fermentation. Leave the jar on your countertop for 2-3 days.
Look for bubbles. The lactic acid during fermentation produces bacteria that release gases. These are visible as bubbles after a few days at room temperature.
A sour, vinegary odour is released if the jar is opened after a few days. Tasting your veggies will also confirm if they are ready to be moved to the fridge.
