Jacksonville – Enjoy a “Fermented Foods” demonstration and talk by Kirsten Shockey, local author of Fermented Vegetables on Thursday, May 5, from 3:30 – 5:00 p.m., in the Community Meeting Room of the Jacksonville Branch Library, 340 West “C” Street.

Fermented foods are a delicious, healthy addition to any diet, including the Paleo diet. They're full of nutritious bacteria and probiotics that aid in digestion and boost the immune system. A classic preserving method, the lacto-fermentation process yields nutrient-dense live foods packed with vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and flavor, and is easy enough for complete beginners!

This free event for all ages is sponsored by Friends of Jacksonville Library. For more information, please contact the Jacksonville Branch Library at 541-899-1665 or visit jcls.org.
