Kraut Toast
From sweet and savory combos - like French Toast with Breakfast Kraut, to low glycemic ultra-healthy pairings - such as Avocado Toast with Golden Turmeric Kraut, to addictive combinations - like Peanut Butter Toast and Fiery Kraut, unconventional pairings are elevating flavor and health benefits of ordinary toast. The mix of sweet, sour, spicy, and umami is pushing boundaries and creating delicious new combinations of fermented vegetables and whole, or gluten-free, grains. By alternating sauerkraut varieties and changing-up combinations, the range of vegetables in your diet increase and the opportunities for new culinary experiences grow.
Kraut Toast is one of our favorite suggestions for enjoying the unique flavors and diverse nutritional profiles of Kres Kitchen Sauerkrauts — a quick and easy way to appreciate seasonal flavors, raw crunchy texture, and Mother Nature’s gut-loving microbes. A little kraut goes a long way; just two-three forkfuls a day strengthens the gut microbiome and adds nutrients to your diet that are easier for your body to absorb and assimilate. The antioxidant and anticancer benefits of sauerkraut can take simple breakfast toast to a whole new level.

In this video, we share quick and easy Kraut Toast ideas using different sauerkraut varieties made with different ingredients. FIBER and DIVERSITY for the win!
What We’re Learning about Plant-based Diversity
Research from organizations like the American Gut Project have found a strong link between dietary diversity, especially plant-based foods naturally high in FIBER, and a more diverse gut microbiome. This research suggests that a wider variety can lead to a healthier gut. When you add lacto-fermentation, the health benefits multiply.
Key Health Benefits of Adding Lacto-fermented Foods to Everyday Meals Like Kraut Toast:
Improved Gut Health: Introduce beneficial bacteria (probiotics) that increase gut microbiome diversity, strengthens the gut barrier, and produces beneficial metabolites like short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs).
Aids Digestion: Makes plant-based foods easier to digest and absorb.
Boosts Nutrition: Increases bioavailability of vitamins and minerals and produces B vitamins, vitamin K, and antioxidants (polyphenols, flavonoids).
Reduces Inflammation: Lowers inflammatory proteins, potentially benefiting chronic diseases conditions like diabetes, arthritis, and stress.
Supports Immunity: Direct interaction with immune cells and gut barrier helping to boost overall immune system function.
Heart & Brain Health: May improve cardiovascular and cognitive health through antioxidants, anti-inflammatory effects, and supporting the gut-brain axis.
