Fermented foods have always played a large role in the way humans have preserved and consumed foods, particularly before the invention of refrigerators. We’ve been pickling, fermenting and preserving all manner of foods and liquids since around 7000BCE, with the likes of kombucha originating in China around 220BCE. It didn’t spread to Europe until trade expansion in the early 20th century, however, and it wasn’t until a Swiss doctor compared its health benefits to yoghurt in the ’60s did public awareness of the beverage start to increase.
Learning pickling and fermentation aren’t just an ancient method of food preservation, it’s also one of ClassBento’s Sydney workshops that focus on improving your overall physical health! Our fermenting classes are a unique way to learn how to get the most out of how you prepare food, and also a wonderful method of expanding your cooking abilities and adding another feather to your kitchen cap. Find new methods and techniques of preserving your favourite ingredients or brewing your own kombucha with ClassBento’s fermenting classes and kombucha workshops.
With a whole range of pickling and fermenting classes in Sydney - from kombucha making to vegetable preserving - you’ll be on your way to filling your house with delicious preserved foods in no time! With so many health benefits, our classes are more than just one of the interesting things to do in Sydney, they’re a crash course in eating healthier and living better.
Health benefits of Pickling and Fermenting
Fermentation and pickling food and beverages is a great way to improve your gut health. The live probiotics that exist in the fermentation process aid in gut health and promote healthy digestion and improve nutrient absorption. The probiotics also improve skin health and elasticity, and have been found to aid in cardiovascular development. Chock-full of antioxidants, scientists have also recently found that the brine produced by pickling boasts an incredibly high level of immune-boosting antioxidants and can ward off muscle cramps. In a study from 2005, it was discovered that pickled foods help keep blood sugar levels low, and regular consumption can play a vital role in a diabetic’s diet.
Not only is the product itself teaming with health benefits, but the activity of learning fermentation also aids in brain health. Learning a new skill promotes the growth of white matter in the brain, which opens up new pathways and not only improves but increases brain function. This has been found to be highly successful in warding off degenerative brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
ClassBento’s pickling and fermenting classes in Sydney are a fun, bubbly alternative to the standard range of cooking classes. Filled with useful information that’s easy to replicate at home, you’ll save money and time on groceries and ingredients with our preserving and pickling classes. For one of the truly unique Sydney activities, give our fermenting and pickling classes a whirl and discover the health benefits you can make for yourself.
