A WIN WITH GUTS
London-based raw fermented foods start-up, Bottlebrush Ferments has been named
among the top food producers in the UK this year, picking up a highly prized 3-star
Great Taste award for its "vibrant, crunchy and balanced kimchi", The Red One, along
with a 1-star Great Taste award for its "showstopping
sauerkraut", known as The Yellow One. Packed with
fresh Chinese cabbage, mooli, carrot, spring onion, garlic
and chilli, all selected for their natural health properties
and naturally fermented using pink Himalayan rock salt,
The Red One was commended for its "mouth filling heat,
supple vegetables and funky complexity". The Yellow
One impressed with its "eye catching colour" from
"comforting and warming turmeric", which is added to
white cabbage, pineapple and fresh ginger, then naturally
fermented in pink Himalayan rock salt. Sunshine yellow
in tribute to Australia's beaches, this sauerkraut is "subtle
and smooth" with "bite, balance and beauty", bringing
together the sourness of a classic sauerkraut with a
summertime twist. Rich in gut friendly enzymes and probiotics, which feed the gut's
microbiome, as well as vitamins and minerals, The Red One and The Yellow One are an
immune boosting accompaniment to dishes whether dolloped on a burger, scattered
over seafood or served with salad. Both are available from Whole Foods Market and
Planet Organic, from £5.50. www.bottlebrushferments.com
