Fermented Beet Salad: Tangy, Probiotic-Rich and Worth the Wait

Fermented Beet Salad: Tangy, Probiotic-Rich and Worth the Wait

The first time I made a fermented beet salad, I expected earthy and sweet. What I got was bright, funky, deeply savory, and completely addictive in a way that plain roasted beets had never been.

Apple Cinnamon Prebiotic Oatmeal: The Gut-Healthy Breakfast You’ll Crave Every Morning

My grandmother stirred apple cinnamon prebiotic oatmeal into existence before the word “prebiotic” existed on any food label, and somehow her gut was in better shape than most of ours are today.

The Cottage Cheese Sleep Bowl That Might Actually Help You Sleep

My grandmother kept a small dish of cottage cheese on her nightstand every single evening, and I thought it was the strangest habit in the world until I started doing it myself.
