In a perfect world, there's no need to add a starter-culture when creating lacto-fermented organic or biodynamic vegetables in the Pickl-It hermetic (airtight) system.  

But we live in an increasingly imperfect world.  For the past year, we have experimented with Caldwell's Starter Culture, discovering numerous advantages....

We really appreciate our friends and loyal customers who are enthusiastically spreading the word about Pickl-It. To make it easier to tell others, we have improved the “social sharing / bookmarking” features on the Pickl-It site.

Our exclusive 84-mineral food-grade, Gourmet Himalayan Pink Salt is now available in a super-fine “Brine Grind”, perfect for creating cold-water brines. A few quick stirs of the water, and this near-powder grind dissolves almost instantly, distributed evenly throughout the brine.

Pickl-It is moving around the globe, expanding out of the United States into Canada, Germany, France, England, and now Australia.

The Pickl-It line is expanding!

Three New Sizes of Pickl-It Containers!

• 2-Liter – Our new 2-Liter complements the 1 1/2-Liter and 3-Liter.

• 4-Liter – Second-largest Pickl-It, for large-batch lacto-fermentation of sauerkraut, pickling-cukes and popular beverages like water-kefir, coconut-kefir, ginger-beer and the ever-popular “more!” Also handy for brining brisket for saltpeter-free corned beef. May or may not fit most refrigerators. Decant to smaller Pickl-It like the 1-Liter for convenient refrigerated-storage.

• 5-Liter – Pictured in the photo, loaded with 3-5-inch pickling cukes, this is 1-liter larger than the 4-Liter, perfect for large families or creating favorite large-batches of reliable long-term storage foods such as kraut, pickling-cukes, and kimchi. Also great for brining meat! Will not fit most refrigerators. Decant to smaller Pickl-It like the 1-Liter for convenient refrigerated-storage.

• Two-part construction
• Easy-to-clean
• Included with all 3/4-Liter, 1-Liter, Condiment Duo, and Condiment Trio
