Bokashi composting is a unique way of breaking down food scraps using an anaerobic process and inoculated grains in a sealed environment. This technique has been used in Asia for thousands of years, and "bokashi” is a Japanese word loosely meant to describe fading away, blurring, gradation, or, for gardening's sake: fermentation. The broken-down material is nutrient-dense and full of beneficial microbes, and is created much faster than regular composting.
