The Power of Fermented Foods
Fermented Foods.
Have you ever wondered why fermented foods get so much hype? For starters, they’re packed with probiotics—beneficial microbes that travel through your digestive system and support gut health.
Fermented foods can support digestion, contribute to a balanced gut microbiome, and may even help lower the risk of conditions like type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol. Many people find that including a variety of fermented foods in their diet helps them feel their best.
Examples of fermented foods.
Kefir and yoghurt – Creamy, tangy, and rich in probiotics.
Sauerkraut – Fermented cabbage packed with gut-loving bacteria.
Kimchi – A spicy, probiotic-rich staple in Korean cuisine.
Kombucha – A fizzy, fermented tea with a refreshing tang.
💡 Helpful Tip: Fermented and pickled foods aren’t the same! If you see vinegar in the ingredients (e.g., in cabbage), that means it’s pickled, not fermented.
Research suggests that enjoying a variety of fermented foods in small amounts daily offers greater health benefits than eating large portions infrequently. So, mix things up and give your gut some daily love!
Recipe Recommendation. BBQ Grilled Vegetables.
Anything from RecipeTinEats and I am instantly obsessed. This recipe is on HIGH rotation in our household - we still can’t get enough! The post-cook marinade is what truely makes it (I usually omit the sugar and it still tastes great!)
Product Recommendation. Byron Chai Indian Spiced Tea.
When you don’t feel like coffee but still want something warm and comforting, this blend is a great option. Made purely from spices and black tea, it has quickly become a favourite for my husband and I! I love it with warm milk and a dash of honey.
