Welcome to Gutsy Ferments

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.

FINISHING ON A SWEET NOTE!
We all had an absolute ball 🤗at Saturday’s workshop!
Everyone went home with a nourished belly and arms loaded with their very own quinoa starter (loved all the names starting with Q), a buckwheat chai fruit loaf 🍞 and a millet focaccia to bake over the weekend.
The watermelon 🍉 coconut kefir ice cream went down a treat with sourdough cookie 🍪 & fresh seasonal fruits.
Oh yes, this popular Summer series gluten free sourdough workshop will definitely be on again for those who missed out this time.
Do watch this space carefully over the next few days as we will be launching the sale of the Sweetie cookie kit 🍪, along with a last minute Christmas 🎄 sale and dates for 2020 Ferment workshops!

“ I SMELL COOKIE DOUGH 🍪!”
Exclaimed Tiny T. Her cute button nose 👃🏻 is always tuned into sourdough sweet treats being prepped and baked in the kitchen.
I do wish you are able to smell the aroma of this miso & almond sourdough cookie dough.
For you who are attending this Saturday’s gluten free sourdough workshop, you are in for a treat! I’m preparing Celebration cookies to end 2019’s last workshop on a high note.
Want to bake your very own sourdough cookies or gift a kit to an avid baker for Christmas 🎄? We have put together a sourdough cookie starter kit (with recipes!) that we will be launching at this Saturday’s workshop.
Not coming for the workshop? We will also make it available for you to purchase the cookie kit on our online shop from Monday 2nd Dec! More information on the sourdough cookie starter kit coming soon!

There’s going to be tons of green mango salads, green mango kimchi, lemongrass & mango kraut, mango sambal, mango pickle for the rest of summer...... What have you done with green mangoes? I love to explore new ideas. 😊
