Philosopher Foods — Gut Nuts Fermented Peanuts (3 oz)

The only fermented peanut. Think sourdough peanuts: tangy, savory, crunchy, and kinder to your gut.

Gut Nuts are sprouted, fermented with live probiotic cultures, then slowly dehydrated until they are crunchy again. Fermentation does two things. It gives the nuts a tangy, savory flavor a little like sourdough, and it changes what is inside them: Philosopher Foods reports up to 7 times the B vitamins and 8 to 9 times the antioxidants of raw nuts, with fewer of the anti-nutrients that make nuts hard on some stomachs. The drying step means the cultures are no longer alive, which makes these a postbiotic snack rather than a probiotic one: the compounds the bacteria made are all still there. Three ingredients.

Peanuts are the snack everyone already eats, which makes them the easiest place to start. These taste like peanuts with a sour, umami edge, and the crunch is louder than roasted.

Who this is for

• Peanut people who want a healthier bag for the couch or the truck
• Anyone who finds regular peanuts heavy or gassy
• Lunchboxes and hikes: real protein, three ingredients
• Adding to trail mix or crushing over noodles
