Lyrics
[Intro]
[Gentle Strumming of an Acoustic Guitar]
[Verse 1]
In the quiet of the cellar, under dim and dusty light,
A fermenter whispers secrets to the jars tucked out of sight.
Anaerobic transformation, salt and water start to blend,
Microbial activation, where the magic won't end.
[Chorus]
Lactobacillus reigns, in brine-soaked domains,
Converting sugars into lactic acid chains.
With each bubble and hiss, a culinary bliss,
Crafting flavors deep, that none would want to miss.
[Verse 2]
Crisp cucumbers submerge in a salty, seasoned bath,
Garlic, dill, and spices charting out their flavor path.
Osmosis pulls the water from the cells to mix and meld,
Creating crunchy pickles, in ancient ways upheld.
[Chorus]
Lactobacillus reigns, in brine-soaked domains,
Converting sugars into lactic acid chains.
With each bubble and hiss, a culinary bliss,
Crafting flavors deep, that none would want to miss.
[Bridge]
pH slowly dropping, acidity climbs,
Preserving food naturally, through the lapses of time.
A jar of sauerkraut, kimchi's fiery taste,
Fermented treasures, none will go to waste.
[Bridge]
pH slowly dropping, acidity climbs,
Preserving food naturally, through the lapses of time.
A jar of sauerkraut, kimchi's fiery taste,
Fermented treasures, none will go to waste.
[Verse 3]
The art of preservation, passed down through the years,
In every culture, amid smiles and cheers.
The wisdom of the ages, in each jar that we can see,
Lacto-fermentation, a legacy so free.
[Chorus]
Lactobacillus reigns, in brine-soaked domains,
Converting sugars into lactic acid chains.
With each bubble and hiss, a culinary bliss,
Crafting flavors deep, that none would want to miss.
[Outro]
So raise your jars aloft, in this fermenting spree,
Celebrate the bonds of microbial unity.
In every tangy bite, history we recall,
The fermenter's craft, a gift to one and all.
[Soft Acoustic Outro]

[Outro]
So raise your jars aloft, in this fermenting spree,
Celebrate the bonds of microbial unity.
In every tang eeh bite, history we recall,
The fermenter's craft, a gift to one and all.
