Welcome to Gutsy Ferments - Creators of Delicious Fermented Food

Here at Gutsy we're all about fermented food that's made for your gut. We're a bit different from others in Australia who make fermented food including Sauerkraut and Kimchi, here are some of the reasons why:
1. We LOVE fermenting!
2. Gutsy ferments in Oak Barrels (no plastics)
3. We wildly ferment our veggies (no artificial cultures)
4. Our veggies are fermented for weeks (not days)
5. All our vegetables arecertified organic
6. Gutsy fermented food products have 100% Australian Ingredients
7. Gutsy's fermented vegetables are Kosher
8. We run workshops to show and teach you what we do

We're also constantly playing around with other fermented things. Check out our online shop to see what's new.

Unwinding after a big day with soft cheese and fruit platter on buckwheat & chia bread and @gutsyferments Smoked Garlic kraut. The bottle of red was thrown in just to complete the photo. No....we didn’t any....okay, maybe just a sip. 🙄
Need a top up of @gutsyferments kraut & kimchi or @buchikombucha booch & kefirs? We will be at the West End markets tomorrow from 6am-2pm! See you there. Rain 🌧 , hail 🧊 or shine ☀️ !

Finally surfacing from the hectic newborn phase, life is finally coming to a new normal. Bron (our brown rice starter) hibernated for the last 6 months as I’m just one of the odd ones that didn’t get into sourdough baking during isolation! 😬

Sourdough nerds, come celebrate with me! This is Bron as active as ever after three feedings. With a mellow floral nutty aroma, she is obviously as excited as I am to get back into some serious sourdough baking.

✨WORKSHOP✨ Speaking of baking sourdough, there are some places still available at our Gluten Free Sourdough Workshop on December 5th. This workshop we will be focusing on sweet treats - like spiced fruit buns and hazelnut apple scrolls! Yum!! 😋

You can check out all the details and purchase tickets via the link in our bio. We hope to see you there ☺️

LET’S DO OUR PART! We stumbled upon this dreadfu

LET’S DO OUR PART!
We stumbled upon this dreadful sight on our walk this afternoon. 😭 This poor turtle, which had washed ashore around Morton Bay region, had a plastic bag tangled around its head. It brought home the cruel reality of plastic waste that goes into our oceans 🌊on a daily basis.

We, at GUTSY, have been continually working on minimising the use of plastics in our business, including using oak barrels for our ferments and eco-friendly materials to package online orders.

Having personally witnessed such a sight, we are once more reminded how important it is for us to do our part. 💚

I love Spring as it brings the perfect temperature

I love Spring as it brings the perfect temperatures for sourdough baking. Lately I've been trying my hand at brown rice baguettes. This 100% sourdough loaf came out a success with just under a day of fermenting.🥖

Perfect for putting together bruschetta or mini sandwiches!

For lunch today we enjoyed ours with tomato & apple relish, cultured butter, @paleobeefdirect nitrate-free bacon, baby spinach & @gutsyferments Red Pepperberry kraut. Delish!

The kids have been learning about the Middle Ages

The kids have been learning about the Middle Ages this year. As an end of term celebration, our homeschool community group threw a Medieval banquet. When asked to bring a plate along to contribute, I instantly knew the perfect food to bring. Sourdough Cinnamon Scrolls: Medieval style!

As the spicy aroma of baking cinnamon scrolls wafted through the kitchen, I envisioned flour-dusted Middle Ages cooks carefully stacking intricately rolled scrolls onto silver platters along with fresh fruits & honey. All in preparation for an elaborate banquet for their Lord and his guests.

Coming back from my daydream... I’m also getting really excited to be getting back into GUTSY workshops! We will be holding our very first workshop back at the fermentery (since the pandemic changed the world) in November.

At this workshop, you will learn how to use “Sweetie” - our beloved cookie starter - to make a multitude of tasty baked goods. Then you will enjoy a light dinner (honestly... it’s a dessert platter) of freshly baked gluten-free sourdough cinnamon scrolls, hazelnut apple scrolls, sourdough cookies, cultured butter & fruits and a couple glasses of in-house crafted mango & passionfruit kombucha.

You will also take home: Sourdough Sweet Treats recipe book, your very own 'Sweetie' Cookie Starter, spiced fruit buns, hazelnut apple scrolls, a nourished belly, & a passion to ferment!

Our November workshop is sold out, but we still have tickets available for our December 5th workshop! These spots tend to disappear fast, so we suggest your book your ticket via our bio link ASAP.

We can't wait to bake with you! It's been too long.🤍

Sadly, our West End markets stall is cancelled today 😔
We are sorry to have to disappoint you all this morning by cancelling our stall at @daviesparkmarket due to unforeseen circumstances.
We are away for the weekend and our market stall helper just called in sick. For the sake of everyone’s well being, we have made the hard decision not to go ahead with the markets today.
We look forward to be back next week with all GUTSY and Buchi supplies for your weekly probiotic needs.🤍

It always brings me such delight to find a stash of in-house brewed kombucha in GUTSY’s staff kitchen. All ready to quench the thirst of any thirsty visitor. Most often than not, the gutsy kids 👦🏻👧🏻..... 😬

What brewing/fermenting projects have you got on your kitchen bench at the moment?

Summer comes with an abundance of stone fruits, berries, and lots of tropical fruits. A different abundance comes with every season. This is especially true for us in Queensland due to our mild winters.

Last summer was a great season for papayas. We got our hands on a stack of fresh, firm green papayas and couldn’t help but ferment them. Now we are enjoying what has become one of our favourite seasonal ferments - Green Papaya Sauerkraut.

Most of our vegetables are fermented for about a month - we find that a month at room temperature is a good balance between time and bacteria count. The longer the vegetables are left to ferment (within reason), the more time the bacteria have to multiply and more complex flavours results.

This Vintage Green Papaya Kraut has been fermented for upwards of 12 months, resulting in trillions of #gutloving probiotics and a more rounded, subtle flavour.

Get your hands on a jar ASAP by tapping on the product tag!👆
