Fermented Vegetable Kit
Preserve your own vegetables!
Symbiota Fermented Vegetable Kit gives you the opportunity to quickly, safely and easily make probiotic-rich fermented foods at home.
Fermented foods are important for improving gut health to feel your best. Make yummy fermented vegetables without sugars, vinegar, heat treatments, and nasties. Make your own preserved vegetable loaded with all the nutrition and probiotic bacteria your gut loves!
How do I ferment my own vegetables?
This fermented vegetable kit is ideal for those quicker ferments of approx 2 weeks. On the other hand, longer ferments such as sauerkraut 2+ weeks are better suited to our ceramic fermentation crocks as they provide a more stable environment for bacteria to multiply over longer periods of time.
To ferment your own vegetables, you simply chop up your veg, add them to your preserving jar, add salt and spice (supplied) and non-chlorinated water. Place your airlock lid on your jar to minimize any oxygen and leave to ferment for +-2 weeks at room temperature. The longer you leave your ferment, the tangier it will be.
Why ferment your own vegetables?
- This kit is perfect to get started making your own fermented vegetable or as a healthy gift for anyone keen to improve their health
- Fermented vegetables are high in prebiotic and probiotic bacteria
- Improves digestion
- Improves gut health and immune system support
- Economic way to preserve foods

The Recipe Booklet is filled with Awesome ideas Oh and BTW ..I ADORE the fabrics selection for the cotton top .. Once again Thankyou for Excellent Service
Fast delivery product was as advertised
One for my daughter, one for me and hot sauce kits for my two brothers !
We are all very happy ! What a wonderful find you are. Thank you and happy Christmas to you all. Prue
Thank you for your kind words Prue. We really strive to make all our customers happy:) Enjoy!
I love eating sauerkraut. What I love even more is making my own. The vege ferment kit has been so easy to use, ferment and clean. The 1 litre jars a great and easy to store. The instructions are easy to read and follow. Wonderful product and space for first time fermenters! Thank you.
This is a great product- so happy that I have purchased more jars,stones and airlocks to give as Christmas gifts. I have a much larger jar at home (5L) but find this size perfect for my day to day fermentation. The glass stone keeps the vegetables etc submerged and is easily placed inside the wide mouthed jar. I brine my own olives each year and it is always tricky keeping them submerged - can’t wait to see how this works!!
I also appreciated the ethical packaging along with speedy delivery.
Very happy with my purchase.
Their customer service is above and beyond. The perfect package with an amazing product. Will definitely order again.
I have made fermented vegetables before but with this one way air lock and glass weight it became a simple process. I can see I will have to purchase another set so I can another lot on the go while I’m enjoying the ‘fruits’ of my ‘labour’!
Looking forward to putting this to a lot of use.
Everything looks great! Thank you!
Thank you, it was an easy process to order and receive my vegetabel fermentation kit. I first tried carrots, beets and broccoli, they taste so good, now I have carrots fermenting. It was really easy following instructions and watching the youtube video was helpful too.
Thankyou for a beautifully presented kit with a green approach to packaging.
Everything arrived in good condition and is clear on how to use.
I can recommend this product and your service.
Parcel arrived promptly, looks great. I'm giving it as a gift. Thanks
Thank you for your feedback
A real asset to the kitchen
Love it!! Team is amazing and super helpful. All the ferments have works beautifully 😊
I am eating the fermented veg now and it is delicious. I think the spice mix takes it to the next level
Thanks Tania. We have really tried out best at sourcing the best spice NZ has to offer. Glad to hear you are enjoying it!
Fantastic! Just what I wanted
Thank you for your review Joy. We are really glad you have found exactly what you've been looking for. Enjoy:)
Very pretty and great quality fermentation pot. Hadn’t had time to use it yet but feels happy just looking at it. I just know the pot and I would create the tastiest kimchi ever ;)

Fantastic product and great customer service ...looking forward to more purchases... thanks
Works great! Awesome product. Already onto my second batch of hot sauce.
I have loved my sets but I find the kids don’t screw on very well!
Hi Rebecca. We are sorry to hear the lids are not fitting well. Could you please email us info@symbiota.co.nz and we will happily address the issue and replace the lids. Thank you
I have been making fermented vegetable for quite a few months now with my Symbiota kit and it cannot believe how much my kids are loving the produce. My pickiest eater just started eating fermented onion! So happy to be getting all this goodness into my children!
Such a great choice and substitute for pickle lovers. No more vinegar and sugar pickles from the supermarket! Great for lunchbox snacks too- check out our blog for some ideas:)
