Nutritionally FIT Workshop: Fermenting Carrots

The health of your body's system is tied to your gut's health. And for good gut health the type of flora (bacteria) that dominates is the key. Traditionally fermented foods provide easy to absorb probiotics to our guts to use for battle every day. Whether you are generally healthy or have a few health issues, fermented vegetables such as these fermented carrots can populate your gut with the bacteria it needs to sustain a robust immune system, healthy digestive system, and sound mind. 

Fermented carrots for gut health are an easy way to start if you're new to fermenting. They taste like carrots but with a bit of a punch of flavours (a salty, tangy, and slightly sour) and they are super crunchy. You can spice them to suit your own taste buds or maybe give them a more classic pickle flavor by adding pickling spices, garlic, onion, and dill.
