Do you love fizzy drinks? Looking for a 100% local wild yeast to kickstart your fermentation for wild sodas? False awa (Piper auritum), also called hoja santa, is an incredible new discovery in my wild kitchen. This crazy invasive provides plenty of fizz from its flowers/inflourescences, recipe coming! Jar on left showing bubbles forming after just one day. Jar on the right has the milky color change and bubbles on top that indicates it’s ready for bottling. Want more info on false awa? CLICK HERE
The wild isn’t some far away place, it’s all around us. This video shows several wild food plants found growing in my garden, right now. Work on identifying them, maybe they’re in your yard too!

And, thanks to the Maui Times for the mention in this weeks article ::Lost & Found : Reflections on technology, nature and wilderness
How did this turn out? I was wondering if a really interesting kimchi could be made using hoja santa?
It turned out great!!!! You can see my wild root beer recipe on the blog as well. so curious about the kimchi, whoa that would be wild indeed as it’s such a unique flavor!
