Fermented Side Recipes

fermented side dish recipes

13 Recipes

The cuisine of traditional societies frequently contained recipes for fermented side dishes.

These “super raw” probiotic and enzyme rich foods commonly pared with a cooked main meal. Rarely if ever did a meal consist of entirely cooked foods.

My, how things have changed today! Modern folk almost always consume meals that contain little if any raw food let alone super raw fermented dishes! No wonder we have such an epidemic of digestive problems today.

The fermented appetizer recipes in this section can help turn back the clock on this misguided modern practice in your home. By regularly serving super raw fermented sides with your main meals, you can enjoy spectacular digestion and more easily absorb nutrients from your food.

You aren’t what you eat. You are what you digest.
