i love love looooove making my own food. i especially love making things that are expensive to buy, but cheap to make. case and point : sauerkraut.
sauerkraut is one of my favourite things ever. it’s so good for you, and it’s been around for centuries… it’s one of those ancestral foods like homemade bone broth that has proven to be a staple for health in many ancient cultures for ages.
sauerkraut is FULL of healthy probiotics, which are essential for maintaining a healthy gut.
and it’s so super easy to make.
