GRANVILLE, Ohio—People have been fermenting foods for food preservation and good health for centuries. A cooking class, “Fermented Foods,” will explore the fermentation process used in creating certain foods at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 22, at Denison University’s Open House (204 North Mulberry Street). The class is free and open to the public but space is limited and registration is required. Contact arcenom@denison.edu to register.

Representatives from The Going Green Store will share their knowledge of fermentation as they demonstrate how to collect whey from yogurt; make sauerkraut using different methods; and share locally-made kombucha tea, as well as versions of Russian kefir, Korean kimchi, and Eastern European kvass. After the demonstration, participants will be invited to begin the fermentation process and bring home a jar of their own fermented food.
