Today is World Ferment Day, and if you’ve ever been curious about fermenting at home, sauerkraut is the perfect place to start. Sauerkraut is just cabbage, salt and time. When you shred cabbage and massage it with salt, you create the conditions for naturally occurring microbes to take over. They produce lactic acid, lower the pH, preserve the food and transform it into something far more interesting, and far more supportive of gut health. These wild ferments don’t need starters or complicated e

Here’s a simple kitchen hack that can quietly make your food more nutritious, without changing what you eat. Chopping cruciferous vegetables like broccoli triggers the formation of sulforaphane, which has been linked to better heart health and reduced cancer risk. But the enzyme that creates it is very sensitive to heat. If you cook broccoli immediately, much of this benefit is lost. Leaving it for around 10-40 minutes before cooking allows the reaction to complete, after which the compound beco

I had a fantastic time @momokombucha’s factory last week learning all about their fermentation process and what makes their kombucha a ‘real’ kombucha I’ve been making my own for the last few years but it’s fantastic to see companies making it ever easier to look after your [#guthealth](https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/guthealth/) Buying ferments in the shop makes things a lot more convenient but there are some things to look out for: - Never buy heat-treated or pasteurized fermented produ

Tim Spector MSC FRCP MD FRSB OBE on Instagram: "Every time I make a meal these are the 3 principles I keep in mind to ensure I’m feeding my gut microbes 🦠 1. Add plenty of polyphenols: A type of defence chemical in plants which gives them their bright colour and bitter taste. As well as protecting the plant, polyphenols feed your good gut bacteria and inhibit the growth of bad bacteria (PMID: 29358833) 2. Make sure you’re getting plenty of fibre - over 90% of adults in the UK aren’t getting eno

The new US Dietary Guidelines have been released, and they’re more significant than you may realize. These documents set the nutritional standards for schools, hospitals and public-health advice. So when they shift direction, the impact extends far beyond the US, particularly to countries like the UK that are still relying on outdated models. For the first time, refined carbohydrates are no longer treated as benign, and the link between high-risk highly processed foods and metabolic disease is a

When you hear the phrase “fermented foods,” you might think of something sharp, pungent, or a jar that’s been sitting in the fridge a little too long. In recent decades, fermentation has seemed unusual or niche, but for most of human history, it was simply how we prepared and preserved food. And now, the science is catching up with tradition. We’re seeing that fermented foods can meaningfully support the gut microbiome, reduce inflammation, and improve metabolic and immune health. These effects
