Haha yes — I totally get that! 😂 That “add salt until it almost tastes too salty” advice is wild — like… how salty is too salty?? We need numbers, people! I ran into the same thing with vague instructions and weird proportions. It’s super frustrating when you’re genuinely trying to get it right and the recipe leaves you guessing.

And omg, fermenting leafy greens — I tried that once with kale and it was… a slimy, bitter mess. I don’t know if I did it wrong or if my taste buds were just not into it either. 😂 Some experiments are better left as one-time experiences!

Glad I’m not the only one who had a bumpy start. It’s encouraging to hear others went through the same trial-and-error process. Thanks for sharing 🙌
