What is ‘koji’ in Scratch Fine Foods Lacto-Fermented Koji Cucumbers?

If you’ve read koji and you’re left wondering, “what is that”, don’t fret. In the world of fermentation, koji is a well-known fermentation culture. Koji, also known as Aspergillus oryzae, is commonly used in fermentation to make Miso, Sake and soy sauce. 

During the fermentation, the fungus helps break down the food and increases the probiotic content found in the foods. It adds a delicious salty, umami flavour and a floral, earthy creaminess to the brine. Something you just don’t get in your average jar of pickles.
