Why ferment?
Fermentation is one of the oldest ways to keep vegetables. It also makes them taste better and gives them a nutritional boost.
Good bacteria
do the work. We just give them time.
Fermented foods are partly broken down by enzymes from good bacteria. That process changes the food: it turns tangy, keeps for longer and becomes more nutritious.
It also encourages probiotics and prebiotics to develop, which is where a lot of the gut-health interest comes from.
The health benefits of fermentation.
Gut health affects everything in the body. Here’s where fermented food comes in.
Easier to absorb
Fermented foods are already partly broken down, so your body can absorb more of their nutrients and minerals.
Probiotics & prebiotics
Rich in both, fermented foods help nurture a balanced, thriving gut.
Smoother digestion
They can help keep digestion running smoothly, and often help with issues like IBS.
Immune support
A healthy gut goes hand in hand with a healthy immune system.
A happier mind
Your gut even plays a part in positive mental health.
The bigger picture
Research suggests fermented produce may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, obesity and inflammation.
Wondering what a prebiotic is? It’s the part of food that feeds the good bacteria in your gut, helping more probiotics grow.
Benefits can differ depending on the type of fermented food and the microorganisms involved.
Sauerkraut means sour cabbage.
Simple as that. Cabbage, fermented until it’s tangy and crunchy. It goes on almost anything.
Good to know.
Why does it need to stay in the fridge?
Knōsh is unpasteurised, so the cultures are still active. Cold keeps them happy and keeps the crunch. Always use a clean fork.
Is the fizz normal?
Yes. Fermentation makes a little gas, so you might see bubbles or hear a pop when you open the jar.
How much should I eat?
Start with a forkful alongside a meal and see what you like. It’s a condiment, not a main course.
Where can I buy it?
Knōsh is stocked in delis, health stores and farm stalls. Find a stockist near you.
