    Hallo, esse ich fermentierten Zwiebel nur als Beilage, oder ist fermentierter Zwiebel auch zum Kochen geeignet?, also z.B., wenn ich in einem Rezept Zwiebel anbrate, kann man dann fermentierten Zwiebel auch nehmen?? Danke Barbara

      Hallo Barbara,

      vielen Dank für Ihren Kommentar.

      Selbstverständlich können Sie fermentierte Zwiebeln auch zum anbraten nutzen. Allerdings gehen dann die wertvollen Bakterien mit denen die Zwiebeln während des Fermentationsprozessen angereichert wurden verloren. Die fermentierten Zwiebeln roh zu genießen ist im Hinblick auf die Milchsäurebakterien besser:-)

      Viel Freude beim Fermentieren!

      Herzliche Grüße

      Petra & Stephan

    Hallo, wie bewahre ich die Zwiebeln am besten längerfristig auf? Also nach den 2 Wochen? Lass ich die einfach im Glas stehen?

      Lieber Martin,

      vielen Dank für Ihren Kommentar.

      Bei Zimmertemperatur fermentieren die Zwiebeln weiter und werden immer weicher bis sie teilweise etwas matschig werden können. Im Kühlschrank oder kühlen Keller können Sie die Geschwindigkeit dieses Vorganges verringern und die fermentierten Zwiebeln länger lagern.

      Herzliche Grüße senden Ihnen
