Had to throw it away because the bag was not properly sealed. ☹️ I think it's time to buy a better vacuum sealer.

Doesn't this risk build up of botulism, which can only grow in an oxygen deprived environment?

I recently learned when defrosting meat that is in a freezer bag, you should remove it from the freezer bag. At least when defrosting overnight in the fridge.

That’s mostly an issue for meat and high protein stuff.

This is called lacto-fermentation and you mix it with salt with a proportion of 2.5-3.5% of the weight of the ingredients to start the fermentation process.

What does "chilli" mean in your language?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

In my language (german) it means "powder from milled chili peppers". In this case I mean the fruits from "chili pepper"-plants ;-)

Interesting. What all is in there? Did you add apples?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Chili peppers (unknown variety) Apples Peaches Blueberries Onions Garlic Tomatoes

I will open the bag next weekend and I hope everything went well ;-)

I am very interested in how that turns out. I don't really think of those ingredients complimenting each other. It could be amazing but it could also be just a weird mixture. Let me know, thanks.
