Fermented foods are super beneficial for gut health, but sometimes my partner said my food smelled like farts.

Here are my favourite ways to incorporate fermented foods into my diet. I love breakfasts of whole grain toast topped with yogurt and sauerkraut rounded off with some fruit and coffee, chia seed pudding with kefir and fruit, or a savoury oatmeal topped with kimchi, hard boiled egg and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Fermented veggies have really boosted my salad game. I’m loving my mixed greens topped with quinoa, peaches, black beans, fresh corn and fermented beets, or kamut with cucumber, tomatoes, fermented carrots and chicken, and I’ve experimented with using the vegetable brine at the bottom of my jar to make a salad dressing with olive oil. At snack time I’m loving cultured cottage cheese with fruit, fermented olives with some nuts, or a simple glass of kefir. Fermented veggies always add some delicious funk to whole grain pilafs with roasted root veg and protein at dinner. And kombucha? That’s a great accompaniment to any meal time, and a lovely complex flavour profile to replace alcohol. That’s what science tastes like.

A doc recommended sauerkraut juice (among other things) as treatment for my gut issues. Fortunately it has little taste when added to eg bone broth
