Fermented Vegetables (GAPS-legal)

I finally got around to making some fermented veggies yesterday.  I followed the directions in the GAPS book.  It doesn't give quantities, but it tells the method.  I used cabbage, beet and carrot.  GAPS also suggests cauliflower, but I'm avoiding that right now.  I hope I do ok with the carrot in this form.  It was super easy to do.  I made 3 quarts.  It takes about  week to ferment.  I'm anxious to try this when it's done!  This is a great probiotic food that will aid in digestion.  The veggies and liquid should be added to your diet gradually because of the probiotics.
