Tetrahydrobisdemethoxycurcumin (say that five time Tetrahydrobisdemethoxycurcumin (say that five times fast lol) is also called “white gold” and it gets this nickname for a few reasons: 🫚THBDC and other tetrahydro-curcuminoids are a pale yellow, so as turmeric ferments you may notice the vibrant , deep yellow color lighten. 🫚THBDC is considered a high-value compound because it’s more stable, bioavailable, and potent than un-fermented curcuminoids. And you don’t need to buy it as a super pricey powder or pill. Just throw some turmeric in your next batch of sauerkraut. ✨Get the full recipe for this turmeric napa cabbage sauerkraut from our recipe index, linked in my profile.

This earthy, tart, and naturally effervescent brew This earthy, tart, and naturally effervescent brew is rich in probiotics and health benefits! It’s extra fizzy too, thanks to the high levels of the FODMAP fructan in beet juice. The microbes metabolize the fructans to make the bubbles, so fermented beet juice kombucha is much lower in FODMAPs than plain beet juice! You can try the recipe by visiting the recipe index linked in my bio. #fermentation #kombucha #beets

✨all pellicles are SCOBYs✨but not all SCOBYs m ✨all pellicles are SCOBYs✨but not all SCOBYs make a pellicle. Sounds like a riddle, but it’s a fact 👏 While the pellicle is a recognizable sign of a healthy fermentation, the SCOBY resides in the floating cellulose layer AND the liquid kombucha. Kombucha SCOBYs are symbiotic colonies of bacteria and yeast that work together to ferment sweet tea into the tangy, probiotic-rich drink we love. The gelatinous structure of the SCOBY, the pellicile, is a polysaccharide matrix, primarily built by Acetobacter. These bacteria secrete the compounds that give it its firm, rubbery texture. So when you ask, “What is a SCOBY?”—the honest answer lies in the microbes that create, sustain, and live within it. Let’s look at the microorganisms that make up this living colony. A healthy kombucha culture typically includes Pediococcus, Saccharomyces, and Acetobacter species, each playing a role in fermentation, acidity, and carbonation. Many SCOBYs also house microbes from the Zygosaccharomyces, Schizosaccharomyces, and Komagataeibacter genera, contributing to fermentation and flavor complexity. Some SCOBYs even contain Lactococcus, Leuconostoc, and Lactobacillus species, though these typically comprise only a tiny portion of the microbial community. Each kombucha batch has its unique microbial fingerprint, shaped by the environment and fermentation conditions, making every brew a little different.
