Evaluate it diluted

02

Keep raw samples refrigerated

When supplied raw, our fermented celery contains active cultures and should be kept refrigerated, as fermentation can continue over time.

Formulating with sugar
03

Formulating with sugar

In live formulations, added sugars can restart fermentation and alter flavor. Keep refrigerated and consider pasteurization for stability.

Balance the acidity
04
