What exactly is Bokashi composting?

Bokashi composting is an anaerobic (oxygen-free) process that uses beneficial microbes to ferment food waste. Instead of decomposing in a traditional way, the waste is pickled using Bokashi bran, which contains microorganisms like lactic acid bacteria and yeasts. The result is pre-compost—an ideal material for enriching soil once buried or processed further. Unlike standard composting, it handles all kinds of food waste, including meat, fish, and dairy, making it an excellent solution for reducing kitchen waste efficiently and without the mess.
