Join a community of fermenters at a park picnic

Fermentation is known as a food processing method with health benefits for the gut that range from the antimicrobial to the anti-inflammatory. If you’d like to learn more about how Filipino atchara and Korean kimchi are made and how they contribute to better gut health, join Good Food Community’s ferment nation picnic this Feb. 12 at the Ninoy Aquino Parks & Wildlife Center. Participants will learn about all of this and more over a shared meal of vegan lugaw (complete with ferments and fix-ins), kimchi fritters, miso cookies, and coffee. — CNN PHILIPPINES LIFE STAFF
