Fastly building research and clinical experience is showing health benefits of healthy gut flora in the areas of: immune support, weight management, allergy/asthma control, acute and chronic digestive symptoms--including IBS and IBD, cancer prevention, and more. Adding fermented foods like Firefly Kitchens' sauerkraut to the diet is a great and delicious way to promote a healthy balance of flora. My kids love it! As a mom and a physician, I am very excited to share this wonderful cookbook with patients, friends, and family to use these delicious recipes to help promote wellness and bring these important foods back into our diets. --Arti Chandra MD, MPH, Integrative Family Physician, Institute of Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner, Fresh & Fermented is a celebration of the simplicity, power, and versatility of fermented vegetables.
