05 Jul 5 ways to eat fermented foods that aren’t sauerkraut

Eating Fermented Foods

Fermented foods aka natural probiotics. Research has shown that eating fermented foods is the quickest way to promote good bacteria in the gut. A single bite of live culture ferments can contain dozens of strains of probiotics and millions of CFU’s (colony forming units).

Umeboshi plum vinegar

We love this one here. Can be used just like balsamic and is full of probiotics.

Homemade yogurt

Give our homemade coconut yogurt a try! SO easy to make!

Miso

Add miso to your marinades, soups and more! Check out our One Pan Maple Miso Glazed Chicken with Veggies.

Raw Pickles or Lacto-fermented Veggies

We love Bubbies brand pickles if you are not up for making your own. Find these in the refrigerated section of the store. Also check locally as many people make ferments to sell in markets and such. You can try fermenting your own vegetables such as cauliflower, garlic, peppers, radishes and more! Here’s a great cookbook with easy recipes.

Kefir

For homemade you’ll need a starter and recipe or purchased is good too (look for lowest sugar added possible).

If you’re interested in making your own ferments quickly and easily (think fermented salsa, mayo, ketchup, yogurt etc) check our Microbiome Makeover Course.
