Spiced Turmeric Sauerkraut
We love fermenting with audacious ingredients when it means raising the bar on FLAVOR and FUNCTIONAL HEALTH BENEFITS.
Our *NEWEST* sauerkraut combines the warm, earthy flavors of fresh baby turmeric with the spicy heat of hot chilis. And we weren’t done there. Pink ginger, fresh garlic and cracked black pepper… also invited to the party to catapult the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects of this kraut through the roof!
WATCH OUT seasonal flu, this one is comin’ for YOU!
“Turmeric – a healing product that, for centuries, has been used to fight viral and bacterial infections. It has proven anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.”
Inspired by customer feedback, we heard your craving for turmeric + SPICE. Very different from our Golden Turmeric Sauerkraut, this seasonal variety is fermented with an assortment of hot chilis to build heat and to enhance complexity of flavor. Shredded carrots balance the kraut with sweetness, extra beta-carotene (vitamin A) and plenty of crunch - a perfect accession to texture, flavor and functional benefits.
We’re excited to offer a functional kraut that’s been loaded-up with ingredients to promote health. There’s a wealth of research indicating that fermentation leads to the amplification of turmeric's antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. A nutraceutical that’s far more influential to our health after fermentation than it is before. During lacto-fermenation, microorganisms convert the curcuminoids and other key compounds found in turmeric into more bioavailable and potentially beneficial forms. Better bioavailability means our bodies can absorb more of the molecules known to promote health.
“Several natural compounds that turn on antioxidant and detoxification pathways through activation of the Nrf2 system have been identified. Among these are curcumin from turmeric.”
If you’re looking for ways to get more turmeric into your diet, we can help. Of course, you can enjoy this kraut right out of the jar but we think it works exquisitely as a topping for coconut curry dishes where spicy heat is craved. For a quick breakfast you can enjoy this kraut over eggs or avocado toast. For a fast snack, simply top a slice of sourdough with cream cheese and Spiced Turmeric Kraut. Another quick snack idea: cottage cheese or hummus topped with Spiced Turmeric Kraut. Think of wild fermented kraut as a living condiment that builds flavor and bumps-up the overall nutritive value of your meal or snack. A forkful of kraut everyday is far better than indulging in a big helping all at once.
Anytime you're adding kraut to a hot dish remember to always add after cooking. Proper timing preserves the probiotic and enzyme vitality inherent to unpasteurized sauerkrauts. Heat tolerance thresholds of the fermentative ecology is generally about 110° F - try and stay well below. Probiotics and enzymes generated from wild fermentation are the purest gifts of nature. We’ve carefully nurtured and bottled these forces for your wellbeing… and ours :) It is our belief that healthy eating should never be boring. Fermentation takes the “blah” out of “raw.”
