MILK KEFIR

Is tangy, slightly fizzy, FANTASTIC fermented milk drink with a high source of probiotics. It looks similar to yogurt, but it’s far more superior. It has over 40 strains of good bacteria and yeasts whereas yogurt has 7 – 10. Yogurt will stay a day inside of you for 24hours, but Kefir will stay indefinitely. It builds colonies of good bacteria in your gut to perform important tasks every day.

• High in nutrients and probiotics

• 1 cup provides 25% of daily amount of Vitamin D you need

Fermentation breaks down casein or milk protein one of the most difficult proteins to digest. Culturing restores many of the enzymes destroyed by pasteurisation. These enzymes help to digest lactose or milk sugar, and also help the body absorb calcium and minerals.
Kefir is incredibly easy to make at home and can be flavoured just like yogurt it is also incredibly versatile so it can be used in baking, for salad dressings, smoothies, sourdough, cottage cheese, sour cream and much more.
Kefir can be made from cows or goats milk and non-dairy Kefir from coconut or any nut milk.

FERMENTED VEGETEBLES

Lacto-fermentation is a type of preservation where good bacteria found naturally on vegetables, converts the starches and sugars into lactic acid that inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria and helps the good bacteria to thrive, thus creating a powerful probiotic. It can remove pesticides and harmful chemicals in the vegetables themselves.
The enhanced probiotics, enzymes, and vitamins in fermented vegetables make them powerhouse food.
Lactic acid activates enzymes in the vegetable that aid digestion, and it unlock a bunch of vitamins, including Vitamin C and Vitamin A as well as the much-reverted Vitamin K2- a known cancer fighter. One cup of cabbage has 30mg of Vitamin C when you make a Sauerkraut from it will increase Vitamin C to 700mg per cup.  
Among many other nutrients critical for body’s well-being are B12 and folate. Vitamin B12 is difficult to come by for people on a strict vegetarian or vegan diet, as it’s present only in animal-based foods. Fermented vegetables, however, contain Vitamin B12.
It promotes the growth of healthy gut flora.
It reduces sugar cravings – scientists have found that gut bacteria actually secretes special proteins that are similar to hunger- regularly hormones, affecting both our food cravings and mood. In other words, the little buggers try to get us to eat foods that they thrive on. So if you eat lots of sugar, you feed the bacteria that love it, locking yourself into the craving cycle. Eating fermented food, however, amps up the healthy bacteria, overpowering sugar- lovingmicrobes and weakening the craving signals.

SOURDOUGH BREAD

Unlike the other cultures I covered earlier, the Sourdough bread isn’t necessary living probiotic as the heat kills the beneficial bacteria. However the good bacteria ( lactobacilli) transform the bread through fermentation prior to baking. The Fermentation process has already developed many vitamins and minerals that aren’t around in regular grain. It also alters the structure of the grains so that they’re more easily digested.
A diet high in unfermented whole grain, particularly high-gluten grains like wheat, put enormous strain on the whole digestive mechanism. When this mechanism breaks down with age or overuse, results take the form of allergies, celiac disease, chronic indigestion ect. During the process of soaking and fermenting, gluten and other difficult-to-digest proteins are partially broken down into simpler components that are more readily absorbed.
