As the weather cools and gardens overflow with late-season produce, fall becomes prime fermenting season. From sauerkraut and kimchi to pickled roots and brined slaws, this is the time to turn your harvest into gut-healthy, flavorful creations that last all winter long.
And guess what? Your Hungry Artisan Food Mill isn’t just for sauces and soups, it’s your new best friend for fermentation prep.
🧄 How the Food Mill Speeds Up Fermenting
Chopping, grating, and mincing by hand can be time-consuming (and hard on the wrists). With the Hungry Artisan Food Mill, you can prep perfectly even, consistent textures in half the time, without a knife or mandoline.
Here’s how fermenters are using it this fall:
🥬 Evenly Shred Cabbage for Sauerkraut
Use the coarse disc to break down cabbage into fine, even ribbons—ideal for quick, uniform fermentation. The smaller pieces pack tightly into jars, reducing air pockets and ensuring a balanced brine.
🥕 Prep Carrots, Beets, and Apples for Slaws or Mixed Brines
Run firm produce through the medium disc to get thin, grated textures that mix beautifully with vinegar, salt, or chili paste.
🍋 Mill Garlic, Ginger, or Onions for Paste Bases
The fine or extra-fine discs create silky bases for kimchi, curtido, or any brine that needs deep, aromatic flavor.
🧂 Why It Works So Well
-
Consistent Texture = Consistent Ferment
Uniform shredding means ingredients release liquid evenly and ferment at the same rate. -
Less Physical Effort
Skip the repetitive grating—simply crank the handle for steady, smooth results. -
Cleaner Prep
The stainless-steel design makes cleanup fast and sanitary—no more trapped bits in box graters.
