Sauerkraut

Jill Dalton
Sauerkraut is a super nutritious fermented condiment that is great for your gut health. Your gut microbiome, also known as your second brain, plays an essential roll in the way that you absorb nutrients from your food. Fermented foods are full of probiotics and enzymes that increase the health of your gut microbiome allowing for better digestion and enhanced immune system function. You can eat a tablespoon or two a day as a side or add it to the top of one of our delicious Carrot Dogs.

It is a kit that comes with special lids with a air vacuum pump that is especially for fermenting
