Fermented Guacamole
Fermented guacamole is a delicious and probiotic version of this popular chip dip. Fermenting also prevents the guacamole from turning brown, making it perfect for picnics, barbecues and school snacks.

- Category: Snack
- Method: Fermented
- Cuisine: Mexican
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1/2 tsp of ground cumin
- 1 clove of garlic, finely diced
- 1/2 tsp non-iodized salt
- 1 tbsp of culture (see notes)
Instructions
- Mash the avocados with a fork.
- Combine the mashed avocados with all of the remaining ingredients. The guacamole can be served fresh at this point.
- To ferment the guacamole, pack it in a glass container. Leave it in a cool, dark location for up to 3 days.
- After 3 days it will be bubbly and tangy. Store it in the fridge for an additional day before serving to curb the fermentation process and mellow out the flavour.
Notes
- I usually use milk kefir whey as my starter. However, you could use any probiotic, fermented liquid like sauerkraut juice or kombucha. I also recommend using a purchased starter (affiliate link.) You can even ferment without a starter… but it’s a bit risky, as it relies on free range lactic bacteria.
- You can ferment this a mason jar with a dish towel on top. However, if you want to fermented it for more than a few days, I recommend using a fido or a mason jar with an airlock
to prevent contamination.
- For the best flavour, eat within one week after the fermentation has finished.
