Fermented beets for Gut health!
Why is fermented foods better than regular pickled foods?
💥 Probiotics!!! Without taking another supplement, eating fermented foods on a regular basis helps with your gut flora. They help your body break down food and improve nutrient absorption.
For all of us uterus owners, beets are great. We shed blood every month and from TCM POV, our blood is used to make breast milk too, and this is why I suggest many of my clients to eat more red coloured foods, like red beets! Think low energy, poor sleep, easily fatigued - these and much more are usual symptoms of Blood deficiency. I'll talk about Blood deficiencies in another post, if you'd like - LMK.
It's an easy process to make fermented foods, these 4 jars took me just one hour to make! They'll be ready to eat in a few days and will last in storage in my fridge for a few months.
I used a 2% brine for this batch with fresh dill and dried coriander seeds.
