Do fermentation acids, salt, and microbes actually penetrate to the seeds of foods like cucumbers—and does that matter for lectins?

In this video, I break down how different ferments work internally, using real mechanisms (diffusion, pH gradients, salinity, oxygen exposure) rather than folklore.

What this video covers:

Do salt, acid, and microbes reach cucumber seeds during fermentation?

Where lectins concentrate: seeds vs skin vs flesh

How lacto-fermentation inactivates lectins over time

Why pickles need weeks (not days) for full penetration

Koji → miso → soy sauce: how one process becomes three foods

What moromi is and how soy sauce is properly extracted

Best ways to strain soy sauce (and what not to use)

Why cheesecloth is poor for aerobic ferments

Water kefir ratios (sugar, water, starter, minerals)

Water kefir vs kombucha: speed, oxygen, microbes, pH

Why minerals matter more than sugar in water kefir

Fridge storage: CFU counts, strain shifts, and what actually changes

Non-gluten sourdough resting, steaming, and baking strategy

This is a mechanistic, practical fermentation guide focused on lectins, microbial activity, and real outcomes—not shortcuts.
