feeling anxious 👉 fermented pickles Recent res feeling anxious 👉 fermented pickles Recent research has shown that shifts in GABA levels, both in the bloodstream and the brain, are closely linked to changes in gut bacteria. These changes play a significant role in our mental health. Simply put, a higher proportion of GABA-producing microbes in the gut leads to better mental health and a much lower risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, dementia, and Parkinson’s. Interestingly, much of the GABA found in our bloodstream comes from both our gut microbiome and the food we eat. Studies have identified GABA-producing bacteria in the human gut, including Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and Bacteroides, as well as in fermented foods, such as Lactobacillus, Streptococcus, Leuconostoc, and Weisella. These microorganisms are now being researched for their potential as probiotic therapies to support mental health and combat neurodegenerative diseases. While the use of fermented foods in mental health care shows promise, more clinical studies are needed to fully understand how these probiotics work and their true impact. Researchers are diving into how specific strains, their metabolites, and the overall composition of fermented foods can affect brain health. But I think it’s no wonder I feel my best when I’m eating a variety of fermented foods every day! #pickles #mustard #fermentation Sources 👉 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41538-024-00253-2
Peach preserves in kombucha was a success! Flavo Peach preserves in kombucha was a success! Flavoring a peach kombucha with peach preserves takes a little longer to carbonate than a secondary ferment with pure fruit juice. And that makes sense! There’s is a little bit of available fermentable sugar from the peaches in the preserves. But mainly, the microbes have to first enzymatically breakdown the sucrose in the preserves into glucose and fructose, before the yeast can ferment the fructose into CO2 (aka the bubbles) and acids. I included directions for using bottled juice, fresh juice and preserves (or jam) in my summer peach kombucha recipe!

sourdough discard 🤝 cottage cheese combined tw sourdough discard 🤝 cottage cheese combined two of the best fermented foods to make the best pancakes. And yes, you can ferment the batter overnight in the fridge for easier digestion. My recipe makes 15 pancakes and each serving of 3 pancakes had 17 grams of protein!

It can suppress overgrowth of Candida albicans, wh It can suppress overgrowth of Candida albicans, while boosting good bacteria in your gut! Roasting garlic increases beneficial garlic compounds like diallyl sulfide and diallyl disulfide — or DADS, for short. Both of these compounds have been studied for their anti-inflammatory (anti-cancer), antioxidant, and antifungal properties. It’s definitely a sauerkraut you should keep in your rotation. To get the recipe google “garlic sauerkraut.” and you’ll see mine it’s the first one. Sources: PMC8777027 (Diallyl Disulfide (DADS) Ameliorates Intestinal Candida albicansInfection by Modulating the Gut microbiota and Metabolites and Providing Intestinal Protection) https://doi.org/10.3390/fishes9100401 (diallyl disulfide (DADS) shows a substantial increase, with concentrations rising from 1.6 mg/g in non-fermented garlic to 4.8 mg/g in its fermented counterpart, suggesting enhanced bioactivity through fermentation)
✨Cottage Cheese Ice Cream✨with Brown Butter an ✨Cottage Cheese Ice Cream✨with Brown Butter and Vanilla I know, I know, I’m making everything with cottage cheese right now. But how can I not? Cottage cheese is one of the most protein-rich fermented foods. If you love ice cream and cheesecake-like flavor, you’ll love this recipe. it’s high in protein, requires only four simple ingredients, and does not require churning. So, you do not need an ice cream maker! A half-cup serving of this ice cream has 12 grams of protein, making it a healthy and balanced sweet snack. Get the recipe from the recipe index linked in my profile. #cottagecheese #icecream
