Mixed Bundle 3 Pack

Unpasteurised fermented foods are loaded with probiotics, which are live microorganisms that can aid digestion and strengthen your gut microbiome. These microorganisms can restore the balance of naturally occurring beneficial bacteria in your gut, compete with harmful bacteria and help you to digest fibre. Due to the high levels of fibre in Sauerkrauts and Kimchi, they are also a good source of prebiotics. Prebiotics act as food for the microorganisms in your gut. By strengthening your probiotic microorganisms, you are then in turn giving your microbiome a further helping hand. A healthy gut means better digestion, stronger immunity, and even improved mood.

Fermentation can help to increase the health potential of foods by making fibre, vitamins and minerals more readily available for our bodies to absorb. Our ferments are a good source of vitamin C, vitamin A, B vitamins and vitamin K. They are also a good source of iron, potassium, magnesium and zinc. These nutrients have a number of possible benefits such as increased bone health, improved muscle and nerve function, a reduced risk of heart disease, lower cholesterol levels and improved immune function and healing.

Why plastic pouches? Because we can’t stand fizzy food! You’ll often see producers showing off how their ferments fizz over when you open their glass jars. Although this proves that they are alive and well, it also means that the contents have been naturally carbonated and fizzy when you eat them.

We also weighed up the carbon footprint of recyclable plastic against glass jars. A 500ml glass jar and lid can create between 1.4 – 1.8kg CO2e. Our pouches are made of MDOPE/PE-EVOH which is not known to leach into food. These pouches can create 0.02 – 0.03kg CO2e per pouch. This means that we could make 60 – 70 pouches for every glass jar and lid. When you add the extra fuel needed to transport the much heavier glass jars, our carbon footprint is lowered even more!
