Welcome to Gutsy Ferments - Creators of Delicious Fermented Food

Here at Gutsy we're all about food that's made for your gut. We're a bit different from others in Australia who make 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 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.

GUTSY-FY YOUR SMOOTHIE BOWLS⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Adding fizzy apple sauce 🍏 into our smoothie bowls is one of the many yummy ways that we enjoy our fruity ferments.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This raspberry banana smoothie is one of our current faves. We don’t use an exact recipe to make this smoothie, but below I have included an approximate of the amount per ingredients that we usually use.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I like to pile the kids’ bowls with a heaping of whey powder, a sprinkling of paleo granola, and frozen blueberries. This recipe would taste quite yummy with a drizzle of almond butter too! 😋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
RASPBERRY DELIGHT SMOOTHIE BOWL⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Makes enough for 4 hungry kids⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- 2 cups frozen raspberries⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- 2-4 frozen bananas, medium (depending on how sweet you like your smoothie to be. We usually use 2.)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- 2 cups activated almond mylk or young milk kefir⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- 1 cup of ice cubes⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- 2 tbsp hydrolysed collagen (optional)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- 1/4 cup Fizzy apple sauce (please refer to our previous post for the recipe!)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Blend it all up in a high-speed blender and enjoy!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Can’t get out to get probiotic ferments? We’ve

Can’t get out to get probiotic ferments? We’ve got you covered!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s been two years since we started sending out our ferments by mail and we have since made many improvements to make sure your GUTSY ferments get to you in the best condition.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After trialling many different packaging options, we think we have finally found the perfect packaging! 👌 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Made from sheep’s waste wool combined with a recyclable, food-grade liner, our new eco-packaging from @wearewoolcool is compostable, reusable, and recyclable. Yay! 🙌
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Wondering what to do with all of that wool? Because the wool fibre itself is naturally biodegradable it easily decomposes at end of life, releasing its valuable nutrients into the ground in a relatively short period, unlike synthetics. Thus creating a sustainable circular economy - especially if you have got a veggie patch!🥕🌾🥦
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Make your order today via our bio link and we will start bundling up your ferments ASAP!

APPLE SAUCE DELIGHT 🍎 How gorgeous is buttersco

APPLE SAUCE DELIGHT 🍎
How gorgeous is butterscotch shade of this fizzy apple sauce?! 😍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To achieve this, all you will need is one day of fermenting and you will have a probiotic-rich treat, that is fizzy and sweet with a slight tang.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s so delicious stirred into a morning bowl of granola, milk kefir, and frozen blueberries. Tiny T just can’t stop herself from eating it right out of the jar! 🤭
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because this apple sauce will keep fermenting in the fridge and can get quite alcoholic, I like to keep the ferment young by making smaller batches in recycled gutsy jars every few days. Make sure to taste this before dishing up some for your kids to devour. If not, you might end up with some crazy kids in self-isolation! 🤪🙈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you going to try some fermenting during self-isolation? There's no time like the present to experiment with some new cooking projects!

MARKET EATS 🧡⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This Chicken Pad Swee from @daviesparkmarket was so delicious but was made all the better by a good helping of @gutsyferments Cauliflower kimchi.😋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is one of our #cabbagefree ferments, that is just delectable! Cauliflower is naturally high in fibre and antioxidants, so it has a number of health benefits and is a great source of nutrients. Once it is fermented, all of that goodness is kicked into high-gear!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fueling your body with ferments is an effective way of optimising your digestion and supporting your body's immune system. A small portion with each of your meals can make the world of difference!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can stock up on probiotic drinks and ferments at the @daviesparkmarket tomorrow, from 6am to 2pm. Alternatively, you can do your shopping on our online store, via our bio link.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

SPICY SOURDOUGH HOT CROSS BUNS I finally gave in a

SPICY SOURDOUGH HOT CROSS BUNS
I finally gave in and spent most of today baking a batch of buckwheat sourdough hot cross buns. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With the cooler weather, it’s taken us the whole day: from kick-starting our Sweetie starter to mixing the dough, fermenting, forming into buns and then fermenting again.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The funny thing is that Tiny T spend most of the day requesting, “Can we eat the hot cross buns now?”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Her young brain is still trying to grapple with the fact that sourdough baking takes precious time ⏰. She has now resigned and gone to bed 😑 🛌.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm hoping to have this batch baked up in time for Brekkie tomorrow, as I’m sure Tiny T is going to dream about hot cross buns all night long!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If are keen to #stayhome and start baking some easter treats, our 'Sweetie' Sourdough Cookie Starter Kit is available for purchase via our bio link.

FIZZY APPLE SAUCE 🍏 We got a bulk box of organi

FIZZY APPLE SAUCE 🍏
We got a bulk box of organic, juicing-grade Granny Smith last week with great plans to dehydrate, ferment and cook them.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tiny T read a book about making apple 🍏 crumble yesterday night and woke up this morning inspired to make one for dessert tonight.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While chopping apples and chatting about our favourite desserts, I was inspired to oven bake an extra tray of apples to make a fizzy caramelised apple sauce. I plan to roast the apples till syrupy, add a couple of tablespoons of apple juice kefir, and then ferment them at room temperature for one to two days till fizzy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I suspect that this will be quite yummy stirred into milk kefir 🥛, served on top of chia pudding with almond butter granola, or even on a piece of buttered sourdough toast. 😋
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Keep your eyes peeled for our next few posts on the development of this fizzy oven-baked apple sauce.🍏
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What have your been busy making during your time at home?
