Wise Goat Organics — Jalapeno Kraut Gut Tonic - Raw & Organic

The living brine from Jalapeño Kraut: tangy, salty, with a clean chili heat on the finish. All the probiotics, none of the cabbage.

A gut tonic is the liquid that forms when vegetables wild ferment in salt brine, and it is where the Lactobacillus cultures are most concentrated. This one is drained from Wise Goat's Jalapeño Kraut, their most popular ferment, so it carries the mild sweetness and heat of fermented jalapeños. It is raw and unpasteurized, so the live cultures, lactic acid and enzymes are intact. Drunk as a shot it supports digestion the way a forkful of kraut does, and it doubles as a natural electrolyte drink with the sodium and potassium of the brine.

Who this is for

• You want a daily probiotic shot with a little kick to wake you up
• You like spicy food and want a gut tonic that does not taste like plain kraut juice
• You make Bloody Marys, micheladas or salad dressings and want live cultures in them
• You work outside in Valley heat and want a savory electrolyte shot

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 as the acid in a vinaigrette or splash it into a Bloody Mary. Shake gently before pouring.

Ingredients: organic cabbage, organic jalapeños, sea salt. 14 oz. Keep refrigerated. Live and fermenting, so open slowly over a sink.
