I am excited to say… I believe the fermentation process is near complete. I have been watching the transition closely since day 1. This being my first time fermenting anything; I am eager to see, taste, and smell the pickled asparagus!!
Today, I studied the glass jar filled with asparagus sitting on my counter top and noticed that the brine was intensely cloudy. There is one photo, where the contents of the jar are not visible in one location! Crazy!!
I would like to compare the photos today and the photos from day 1. So you are also able to see the direct change and progress I have made!
Day 1
As seen in the above photo... The asparagus displays a very bright green color. All of the contents of this fermentation jar are visible.. the garlic is white, the red pepper flakes, and the dill.. Clear as clear can be!
Day 10
and another.....
As seen in this photo....
The brine is extremely cloudy even displaying a yellowish tint. The fresh green asparagus is now yellow/green displaying a fatigue image. The asparagus appears to have lost its strength and crispness. Not saying they wont taste delicious J The smell is still incredibly strong.. Pickled, garlic spice scent.. Yummy!!!
