Tired of sauerkraut and kimchi but still want to get in your fermented veggies? Try making your own! With this keto-friendly fermented sprouts recipe, you can experiment with making your own. I used bean sprouts in this recipe, because I find I'll buy a bag of them for some recipe and have a bunch leftover afterwards, so it's a way of preserving them for future use. But you can try it with other freshly sprouted legumes or veggies. Heck, you can mix up the spices too. Let your creative juices go wild!
