A sprouty variation on kimchi. This fabulous ferment has the same delectable spiciness of kimchi, but also packs the health-giving punch of the inimitable Brussel sprout. What a perfect mouthful!

Jerusalem artichokes are a bit special to me. I love the plants, themselves, with their beautiful yellow flowers and tall gangly stems. And beneath the soil nestle these nutritious vegetables, a bit like hidden treasure.

I have been making fire tonic for my family for years now. I make apple cider vinegar myself and this forms an amazing living solvent, which then extracts constituents from the herbs I soak in it.

I have been tinkering with this vinegar for a little while now. In formulating this recipe, I had the delicate structures of the lungs and the blood vessels and capillaries that serve them very much in mind.
