Pickled Composting Flakes contain effective microbes (EM-1) that bokashi or ‘pickle’ food material. 

These flakes will pickle any food item!  Unlike traditional compost systems, bokashi can facilitate a safer and faster breakdown of all foods including cooked and raw meat, fish, bones, shells, dairy products, fruit and vegetable scraps - while introducing a diversity of microbes to enrich your soil.  

Just scoop a small handful to the bottom of an airtight bucket, add your food scraps and then squash these down to remove air pockets.  Then sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons to a 2-3 Litre layer of scraps to ramp up the pickling process! 

You will discover the pickling process increases the acidity of your food while producing either no odour at all or a sweet vinegar or sauerkraut like smell; making it much more pleasant to keep adding to.
