Step 9
Place a weight on top and leave at room temperature for 3–5 days. The preparation time will depend on the temperature in your apartment—the warmer it is, the faster the carrots will ferment. Check for doneness by taste. Then refrigerate the carrots for 12 hours; after that, they will be ready to eat.
