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.

There’s something quite special about making an incredibly small batch of kimchi.
Little T and I crafted this summer ☀️ kimchi at the last workshop with jackfruit & star fruits. Both of which contributed some crunch and delicious flavour notes to the resulting kimchi.
We loved ❤️ it so much that we have already consumed 1/4 of the jar with yesterday’s dinner of green curry beef rissoles which went deliciously with sweet potato fries. And that was with much restraint and a constant reminder from me to make it last. 😆

I’m curious 🤔 to find out if you have fermented kimchi with other seasonal produce? I love to hear your favourite kimchi combinations too!

PRINCESS KRAUT 👑 Our girls’ favourite kraut t

PRINCESS KRAUT 👑
Our girls’ favourite kraut to eat with most foods (and often straight out the jar!) is our @gutsyferments Red Pepperberry Kraut. They have fondly dubbed it the "Princess Kraut" 👸🏻.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This gorgeous purple sauerkraut is crafted with 100% red cabbage and wildly harvested Tasmanian Peppberries. It is our most subtly flavoured ferment, which goes beautifully with all sorts of dishes.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This kraut is pretty but it is royally packed with beneficial ingredients!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The pepperberries are incredibly high in antioxidants - which are great for skin, immunity, and heart health. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The red cabbage has a good mix of vitamins and minerals, especially folate and vitamin C; making it especially helpful for pregnancy, red blood cell production, and maintaining a healthy heart. 💜
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To grab yourself a jar, shop online via our bio link or come see us at the @daviesparkmarket on Saturdays 6am to 2pm.

KIMCHI DELIGHTS🍍
It was tropical fruit galore at our past Saturday’s kimchi workshop. I even managed to get hold of some freshly harvested jackfruits and star fruits from my Vietnamese farmer friend to make the kimchi with.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was such a delight to see everyone experimenting with their own summer kimchi combinations and to bring home at least 2kg worth of it at the end.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In our usual GUTSY style, we finished the workshop with a nourishing rice bowl 🍲 with braised mushrooms, Adzuki miso & sesame avo 🥑 and a variety of @gutsyferments kimchi to top it off. We then washed it all down with a refreshing glass of Passionfruit & Lime kombucha. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are only hosting one more GUTSY workshop in 2020, so if you would like to join us make sure to book in before it gets all sold out. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our upcoming workshop is Easter themed, and focussed on creating Gluten-Free Sourdough Hot Cross Buns & Hazelnut Apple Scrolls. It is on APRIL 4TH and there are currently only six tickets remaining! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We'd love to see you there! If you'd like to come along, please head to the link in our bio to secure your spot.

GUTSY GARLIC 💪⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you know a single jar of kraut contains as many gut-friendly microbes as 8 bottles of probiotic capsules? What a cost-effective (and delicious!) way to get probiotics into your life! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today we are enjoying a delicious heap of probiotic goodness from @gutsyferments Smoked Garlic krauts on this abundance plate! This yummy seasonal salad, bbq mushrooms with pesto, poached eggs, and avocado with sour cream on rosti went perfectly with the kraut. 👌⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

LOVE IS IN THE AIR 💕
Our Gutsy team is really feeling the love at the fermentery today 🙈 #instagramvsreality

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A gift of nourishing food that nurtures and sustains our bodies shows that extra measure of thought and love. To make it easier, we stock a large range of quality ferments that you can choose from. With a variety of ferments available, there’s always a kraut or kimchi to suit everyone. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

GUTSY EATS⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This week I jazzed up our usual Sunday roast by turning it into an Asian inspired meal. It featured a veggie stir fry, chilli lime Sambal, and a delicious serving of @gutsyferments Cauliflower & Pear Kimchi. 😋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This kimchi has been one of my regular go-to ferments in recent months. It's nice to have the variety of something cabbage-free and I love that it's only mildly spicy, so you can fully enjoy the rich, traditional flavours. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Kimchi is often cabbage-based (which I still absolutely love!), but I have really been enjoying creating kimchis out of lots of different fresh produce. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What ingredients would you like to try in kimchi? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Summer comes with an abundance of succulent fruits that can be used to make delicious kimchi. In this Saturday's workshop, we will be demonstrating how to make kimchi and experiment with lots of unique flavours using locally sourced and seasonal produce. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So if you would like to learn how to make delicious kimchi, please join us on Saturday, Feb 15th @ 1 pm. Tickets are available via our bio link.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

GUT SHOT 🥃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tangy and savoury, with a subtle spicy kick; this is the ultimate beverage for revamping your gut and boosting your immune system! 💪⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Kimchi is naturally rich in antioxidants, vitamins A, B, & C, and, of course, lots of healthy probiotic bacteria. Research suggests that it can help prevent heart disease and diabetes, as well as boost resistance to some strains of the flu. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The @gutsyferments Kimchi Tonic is sugar-free, probiotic dense, and raw! Packed full of the gut-loving benefits of kimchi this tonic is great downed as a shot on the rocks, used as a salad dressing, or even mixed 50/50 with an orange & ginger water kefir (incredibly hydrating drink on a hot summer day). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With all of the nasty bugs going around at the moment, we have been making it a regular addition to our diet. We love to add it to a couple of shots to hot bone broth and sip on it for breakfast! 😋 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
*NOTE* This product is only available for purchase at the @daviesparkmarket, Gutsy Workshops, or Gutsy HQ. $4 per bottle.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
