Want to know the Sauerkraut Secret?
I don’t know about you, but for me sauerkraut is one of those foods that never sounds appetising; and I have eaten sauerkrauts that, let’s face it, were NOT appetising.

But that all changed a few years ago when I met the founder of Hurly Burly Foods and tried their “raw slaws”. THIS was a sauerkraut I could get behind.

I helped him understand the nutrition and health benefits of not only cabbage but also fermented foods and he made it taste amazing. From then on, I looked at fermented foods and drinks in a whole new light.

How to actually make it.
But I am still yet to actually make sauerkraut myself so I have asked a friend and colleague, Claudia Olivier, to show me how to do it.  Claudia is a natural chef specialising in fermented food and a nutritional therapist. She has done a quick and simple “how to” video which you can watch here:

While I buy it and eat it, I have always shied away from making it as I thought it would be complicated. This video has changed that. Claudia has inspired me to give it a whirl and I would love you to join me this week.

If you are on Instagram, post your pictures and tag me @feedyourselfsmarter, I would love to know how you get on.
I am also running an Instagram Live on Thursday 20^th May (which I will save to IGTV) where you can ask your fermenting questions.  Don’t worry, I have another fermenting guru joining me on that!

And remember, your brain is going to thank you for all this fermented food and drink; it really is one of the best ways to support the gut-brain link.

Let me know how you get on in comments below.

In health and happiness
