Sauerkraut – a probiotic food?
While sauerkraut is often called a probiotic food, it’s more accurate to say it’s microbe-rich. That’s because not all fermented foods meet the strict scientific definition of a probiotic—but they can still support gut health in powerful ways.
Naturally fermented sauerkraut (like this one) contains live cultures that may help balance your gut microbiome, support digestion, and improve nutrient absorption.
Plus, it’s packed with fibre, vitamin C, and beneficial plant compounds.
A delicious way to nourish your gut—one crunchy bite at a time.
Here's our best sauerkraut recipe – enjoy!
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cabbage head
- 1 tbsp of sea salt
- 1 lime
- 3 tbsp of fresh mint leaves
INSTRUCTIONS
Start by cutting the cabbage thin. Put in a bowl and add salt. Hand massage the cabbage for at least 15 minutes until there is plenty of liquid in the bowl.
Slice the lime and chop the mint leaves. Put the cabbage, the reserved liquid, lime and mint in a jar and use your hands to press it down.
Fill a plastic bag with water and place it on top to keep it down.
Ferment your cabbage for at least a week; the taste develops with time.
