Nurtured Earth Organics News #5

Have you used that Red Cabbage yet?

We adore red cabbage and the aesthetic appeal it brings to any salad….. and better still, red cabbage is super healthy, full of nutrients and phytochemicals which have disease preventive properties! Red cabbage has 10 times more vitamin A and twice as much iron as green cabbage. Now here’s a fantastic idea for that red cabbage:

GET FERMENTING!Fermented_Red_Cabbage

Fermented foods contain beneficial probiotics, digestive enzymes, and health boosting nutrients . With over 80% of our immune system living in our gut, eating fermented foods is the perfect way to put some ‘gut maintenance’ into your life.

Fermented foods come in all shapes and forms from all different nations, with Sauerkraut being one of the most common examples of fermented vegetables.

Last week Sonia decided to put it to the test. With the kids on board to offer helping hands they used nothing more than Red Cabbage and Salt!

The end result well, actually, Sonia discovered they used too much salt (2 tbspn for half a cabbage), but 4 days later – (salty) Sauerkraut!
