RE: The Saga of Soggy Sauerkraut: Glyphosate = Bad

in #life2 days ago

it has been retracted.

Finally. How many years was it since "everybody knows" it's bad to use it, yet, its use only grew :|

the loss of >$1M of organic sauerkraut (...) into mush the texture of applesauce, rendered it unsalable

We were making sauerkraut at home. Sometimes it just went bad. But I can't remember any single time we've got 'applesauce texture'. Bitter in taste, sure. Soft and not crispy, yup. Molded instea of fermented, yep, happened. But mushy like applesauce, whoa, that's a wholly new level of failed sauerkraut (Oo) I know, I know, home-made vs business production is a bit different, but still..

some processes and microorganisms break glyphosate down

Awesome! I'll have to read more on that. It's usually a long time between discovery and possible widespread use, but it's great that -something- can break it down. I just hope that -something- isn't deadlier xD

Sort:  

"I just hope that -something- isn't deadlier xD"

I couldn't agree more, but, from my read of the paper, what they used was sauerkraut juice and some microbes that could break up glyphosate.

The reason the sauerkraut was soggy is that the cabbage lacked nutrients like iron and manganese that are needed to form strong cell walls. The feeble cell walls of the glyphosate drenched cabbage collapsed during fermentation.

I need a proper crock to make sauerkraut, but I may wait on that until I actually have a place to live.

Thanks!
