Seed to Culture
Dill pickles like your Jewish grandma use to make! These crunchy sour pickles are so addictive you might just finish the jar in one sitting.

’Culture Starter’ vs ‘Wild’ Fermentation
Fermented products are not all equal … and might not be vegan 🤔.

Wild Fermentation
‘Wild’ or ‘spontaneous’ fermentation refers to the process in which the bacteria already present on the vegetables start and control the fermentation process.
You can count on Jill and Christoph, they wild ferment all their products and that’s what’s set them apart.

Culture starter from animal origin
It is a preparation of living microorganisms, which are deliberately used to assist the beginning of fermentation.
The main function of starter cultures used in food from animal origin, mainly represented by lactic acid bacteria, consists in the rapid production of lactic acid, which causes a reduction in pH, inhibiting the growth of pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms, increasing the shelf-life of fermented foods.

Food sources of probiotics will contain a large variety of strains, where as supplements should list each individual type they contain.
