Fermented foods are great for the gut indeed.Hopefully I am offsetting it with all the fermented foods I love, including sauerkraut, kimchi, ferment beet (or garlic or pepper) hummus, half sour pickles, and so on. One of my favorite lunches is a stack of a good vegetable patty with plenty of seeds, a slice of grilled onion, a pile of caramelized kimchi, and some cheese melted over it all to help hold it together. Put it on a griddled Martin's slider roll and top with a splash of lite (hate that spelling, but that's what they call it) 1000 island.
