That was done because I also end up with a lot of sprouting garlic. Makes a change from dehydrating and grinding.

For what it's worth, have used the very same method to ferment peppers, strips of carrots and daikon, beets etc. So far, so good. Can hardly wait till asparagus season - that has to be a better way than freezing to keep them from a mushy end.
I just did a small jar of garlic using Worth's method. I hope it works because I have lots of garlic and some is starting to sprout. I would love to try the method on the other vegetables using whey.
