About This Ferment
Achara

Achara is the Filipino take on a fermented pickle: green papaya at the centre, sour and tangy by design, eaten alongside richer foods. Green papaya carries papain, an enzyme traditionally used to help break down protein.

This version brings in pineapple, capsicum and chilli for tropical heat and sweetness. Kelp, coriander, lemongrass and nigella seed round it out. Three Australian-made probiotic strains added at the end of fermentation. Non-pasteurised.

02 Live Probiotic Strains 3 Strains, TGA Approved
Lactobacillus plantarumOne of the most-studied lactic acid bacteria in fermented food.
Naturally present in fermented vegetables, sourdough, olives, and the human gut. Tolerates a wide pH range and survives stomach acid better than most strains, which is why it's a workhorse of vegetable ferments. Produces lactic acid and antimicrobial compounds during fermentation that help drive out spoilage bacteria.
Lactobacillus rhamnosusAmong the most commercially used probiotic species worldwide.
Originally isolated from human and dairy sources. Notable for sticking to the intestinal lining rather than passing straight through, and for being robust through digestion. TGA-listed for general use in Australian probiotic supplements. Often paired with L. plantarum and L. paracasei in mixed-strain ferments because each strain contributes different metabolic activity.
Lactobacillus paracaseiClosely related to L. casei but a distinct, hardier species.
Naturally found in fermented dairy, fermented vegetables, and the human mouth and gut. Generally robust through stomach acid. The third strain in the trio used here, alongside L. plantarum and L. rhamnosus. The trio is a common combination because each works at slightly different parts of the fermentation curve and within different parts of the gut.

01Storage
Refrigeration
Keep refrigerated at all times. Cold storage keeps the live cultures dormant and the flavour stable.
After Opening
Keep refrigerated and consume within 3 months of opening. Use a clean utensil each time. Press contents below the brine after each use to keep cultures protected.
Active Fermentation
A small amount of bubble or fizz on opening is normal. The cultures are alive and continue to slowly ferment in the jar.
02Serving
Best With
Serving Suggestion

Cuts through anything rich or fatty. Toss through a Thai-inspired salad, drop on top of a protein meal, or use as a tangy partner to roast meat.

Per Serve
35 g per serve delivers 5.25 billion CFU. A heaped tablespoon is roughly the right size.
Don't Cook It
Heat above 45°C kills the live cultures. Add as a finishing element on top of warm food, not stirred into a hot pan.

▼
You'll Need
Roast pork shoulder or pork belly with crackling, sliced 6 tbsp Love Organics Achara Steamed jasmine rice Fresh coriander Lime wedges
Method
1Slice the rested pork onto warm plates over rice.
2Spoon achara generously alongside, not on top of the crackling.
3Scatter coriander, lime wedge on the side.
Tip: Achara is the Filipino answer to roast pork. The acidity and sweetness cuts the fat. Eat each forkful with a little of everything.
