Wise Goat Organics — Classic Gut Tonic - Raw & Organic

The simplest probiotic shot there is: the living brine from Classic Kraut. Cabbage, caraway and salt, fermented, and nothing else.

A gut tonic is the liquid that forms when vegetables wild ferment in salt brine. It is where the Lactobacillus cultures concentrate, and it has been drunk as a digestive tonic in German and Eastern European kitchens for generations. This is the brine from Wise Goat's Classic Kraut, so it is as plain as a fermented tonic gets: clean, sour, salty, with warm caraway behind it. It is raw and unpasteurized, so the live cultures, lactic acid and enzymes are intact. No spice, no beet, no greens. Just the tonic.

Who this is for

• You are new to fermented foods and want the gentlest place to start
• You have a sensitive stomach and want probiotics without spice or garlic
• You want a daily gut tonic you can also cook with
• You want a natural electrolyte shot after a hot day in the Valley

How to use

Start with one ounce a day, first thing or with a meal, and work up to a shot glass. Drink it straight, over ice, or cut with sparkling water. Use it in place of vinegar in dressings and slaws, or splash into soup after cooking. Shake gently before pouring.

Details: made from their Classic Kraut of organic cabbage, organic caraway seed and unrefined sea salt. 14 oz. Keep refrigerated. Live and fermenting, so open slowly over a sink.
