  • About
Fermented foods are full of probiotics, and probiotics are responsible for boosting immunity and improving digestion. They are wonderfully clever little guys, diligently helping us to extract the goodness from our food. And when it comes to optimal nutrition and holistic health, you’d rather have a strong healthy army on your side, right?

Fermenting involves a process called lacto-fermentation. For example, if you’re making fermented cabbage (my Red Cabbage and Caraway Sauerkraut), it involves good, kind bacteria such as Lactobacillus that are present naturally in cabbage (and in products such as yoghurt and kefir) converting sugars in the cabbage to lactic acid, a natural preservative that fights nasty bacteria. Clever, hey? It’s also an ancient method of preserving food … clever again.
