It's Harvest Season! Loving this shot from @meganfaletra+ @mountainroseherbs
"Many of us are currently up to our elbows (literally!) in fall food preservation, our kitchens permeated by the smells of old family recipes or new garden goods experiments. Whether you're canning, pickling, fermenting, or freezing, there's nothing more satisfying than adding your own special blends of homegrown or lovingly selected herbs and spices to the culinary creations that will see you through the winter (and maybe beyond!). What projects are commandeering your countertops right now?
Our Fav Sauerkraut Recipe
Our Fav Sauerkraut Recipe
1 Big Head Purple Cabbage (or 3 small ones!)
2 - 3 Medium Carrots
2 Red Beets
2 TBL Celtic Sea Salt
Directions :
Chop all ingredients to your liking (we prefer a rough chop). Afterwards spend approximately 15 minutes of squishing all the above ingredients into a jar with the briny/salty liquid and fill to at least 1 - 2 inches above the kraut. Let the jar sit in a dark area of your kitchen or a room with decent air flow for at least three days, and up to two weeks.
Sauerkraut update! 🥬
I have to admit, it is so yummy! I'm pretty impressed with how easy it was to make delish kraut, and it goes so great as a summer bbq side! I understand it isn't a taste that everyone loves, so here is a list of its many MANY benefits that might help convince you to add it to your dinner plate.
🌟Packed with probiotics for gut health
🌟High in fiber for gut and heart health helping reduced heart disease
🌟Sulfer-containing Glucosinolates!! Powerhouses for all kinds of goodness. Studies link these to protective anti-cancer activity especially in the lungs and alimentary tract
🌟Glucosinolates found in brassicas (cabbage, broccoli, brussel sprouts, etc) encourage the liver during phase 1 metabolism helping rid the body of toxins, STRESS, inflammation....the list is long!
🌟Cruciferous veggies help the body process and excrete excess estrogen (estrogen dominance anyone??) and help balance hormones throughout the menstrual cycle.
