I served this snack with a salad of arugula, olives and capuchin flowers.

Olives are also a fermented food, which like sauerkraut, are loaded with bacteria very similar to those found in our intestines. So when we consume it, we are strengthening our intestines and our immune system.

Because of its beneficial properties, the consumption of this type of food should be done on a daily basis. It is for this reason that many people advocate the consumption of foods such as cheese, kefir, or yogurts, also fermented. However, I am more likely to consume plant based fermented products, such as olives or sauerkraut, since all dairy products, although fermented, are strong promoters of mucus accumulation in our body and, in general, exacerbate respiratory problems such as sinusitis, bronchitis or asthma.

In a future article, I’ll share the sauerkraut recipe … you’ll see it’s pretty simple! 🙂
