Health benefits

Oats are a great source of slow-releasing carbohydrates and soluble fibre, which can help balance blood sugar levels and promote digestion and the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut.

Beetroot and Apple Pickle

Making your own fermented vegetables is a great way to improve your digestive health and provide plenty of beneficial bacteria to support a healthy immune system and lower inflammation in the body. Try to include a small amount daily to balance your gut flora. This recipe uses a vegetable starter culture which is a preparation used to kick-start the fermentation process when culturing vegetables. These contain a broad spectrum of beneficial bacteria and produce consistent results to improve digestive health. They are readily available from health food shops and online suppliers. Try this fermented gut-healthy pickle served with burgers or spooned over salads. It also works well with fish, eggs and lean meats.
