Make winter pickles, learn fermentation

You make simple pickles for the winter season while chatting and meeting new people. Fermentation uses salt and time. Natural microbes transform sugars into acids. That preserves vegetables and adds bright, tangy flavour. It can extend shelf life and reduce food waste. It is hands-on, creative, and fun to try with friends.

About this student community: The UvA Green Office is a student-run sustainability platform. Since 2016, we’ve supported UvA’s transition across education, research, operations, policy and community.

This event is part of CCW25, the Campus Connect Week 2025.
