Fermented Carrots
Fermented foods are vital to the GAPS diet. They help provide beneficial bacteria to the gut and help to “crowd out” the bad guys. Including as many types of fermented foods as possible will help to create a vaste ecosystem in your gut. These lovely carrots are a great snack, a lovely addition to any meal and also can be used in cooking.
