Improve your gut health
Improve your gut health by eating 30 different plant based foods a week. Why is this important and how do I do it.
Classic Sauerkraut
Try this simple recipe for making classic sauerkraut using raw cabbage. This fermented food is great for your gut. If you are new to eating fermented foods, start with a small forkful a day so you are not introducing more probiotics into your gut than it can handle.

The easiest way to consume sauerkraut is as a condiment but it can also be stirred into just about anything from pasta, stir fries, and smoothies to mashed potatoes.
