Summary: Crispy outside and creamy inside, Polenta Chips are an interesting alternative to potato chips, and also a smart way to use leftover prepared polenta. You could also make cheesy polenta chips by adding 50g of grated cheese and a generous handful of chopped fresh herbs along with the butter. Delicious served with a dip or relish as a snack, as a side dish with a vegetarian chilli or casserole, or you could even cut up the set polenta in cubes and make gluten-free polenta croutons and serve them with soup or salad.

Summary: There is more and more research giving us evidence of how crucial a healthy microbiome is, not just to digestive health, but how it also strenghtens our immune system, improves nutrient absorption, benefits our mental health and even determines our food cravings !
Probiotics capsules are helpful, provided they contain a wide range of bacteria strands, and enough colony forming units. But even then, some research suggests that they only really make a difference while we take them, and good quality probiotics can be very costly. On the other hand, fermented whole foods contain exceptionally high numbers of bacteria : an ounce of homemade, raw, unpasteurised sauerkraut (fermented cabbage) contains more bacteria than a whole bottle of good quality probiotic capsules. And they are very cheap to make at home : the only cost is the price of the produce, and a little salt.
Include these naturally lactofermented cucumbers for a cheap and easy way to boost your family's friendly gut flora.
