Artisan Fermented Foods
Classical Preservation Technique | Ultra-local Ingredients | Bold Flavors
Our ancestors have enjoyed cabbage-based ferments for thousands of years! While research into the health benefits of fermented foods is evolving, the process of fermenting vegetables has been around for a very long time. In addition to helping food last longer without pasteurization or artificial preservatives, lacto-fermentation enhances complexity and flavor while upholding that “raw crunch” texture that is so distinctive to quality ferments.
Eating fermented foods can help boost the beneficial bacteria, or probiotics, in your gut. This is important because abundant and diverse populations of beneficial bacteria can improve digestion, enhance your immune system, fight off cancers, aid in weight loss, and improve brain function, among other things.*
At Kres Kitchen, we use classical fermentation methods and seasonal produce to create distinctive small-batch sauerkrauts for adding deliciousness to any meal. A little goes a long way in an eating plan focused on nutritional variety. From a spoonful of kraut on your eggs at breakfast to a flavorful topping on a green salad at dinner, we offer a wide selection of krauts to complement any culinary craving.
