Digestive Pack - Real Food Probiotics

This Digestive Pack comes with 2 probiotic superfoods.  These fermented superfoods are real food-based probiotics that nourish and heal the gut. They can be used as a digestive aid with meals, to heal stomach conditions, and to lose belly bloat and fat. 

For thousands of years, people utilized the power of fermented foods every day. Especially in harsh climates where fresh fruits and vegetables were scarce, cultures came to rely on fermented food to enable proper digestion, to enhance nutrient absorption, and for vitamin C.  

Probiotic pills that come in a bottle are just not effective. Our bodies recognize and utilize real food.

These Fermented superfoods contain many probiotic strains, plus fiber and nutrients that nourish the good bacteria you already have.

Included in this pack is our Umeboshi plums and our homemade Raw fermented Sauerkraut, one Einkorn Sourdough Bread, and one Kamut Sourdough Bread.

UMEBOSHI PLUMS

Umeboshi plums are fermented plums, rich in probiotics. For over a thousand years they have been valued as a powerful digestive aid. Asian cultures use this fruit to rejuvenate the gut, as an anti-bacterial, anti-candida, and anti-parasitic. It also aids the liver.   

How are fermented Umeboshi plums made?

The little plums are fermented with sea salt and shiso leaves, sometimes for many years.  The result is an incredibly alkaline, probiotic rich, pickled fruit with a host of health benefits.  The shiso leaves have many medicinal health benefits themselves, and they contribute to the antimicrobial and infection-fighting components of the umeboshi plums.

Unfortunately, many companies use artificial dyes and preservatives to keep costs down.

Why Our Plums are Unique

At Joseph's Organic Bakery, our umeboshi plums are pickled for many years, on a small family owned farm in Japan. This family has been making umeboshi the traditional way for many decades.

How to Consume Umeboshi

Umeboshi is a very tasty condiment. The salty and sour properties of umeboshi plums make them an excellent accompaniment to any dish.  Just remove the pit and cut up the fruit into little pieces, adding them to salads, on bread or in any rice dish. 

They can also be used to just add a nice flavor when preparing any grains or vegetables.  Eating one on its own first thing in the morning with breakfast stimulates digestion for the day. 

Included: 8 oz jar of Umeboshi Plums

Instructions: Remove the pit and cut up the fruit into little pieces, adding them to salads, on bread or in any rice dish.  Consume up to 4 plums per day.

FERMENTED BEETS

Beets are a powerhouse of nutrition, offering a variety of vitamins and minerals that contribute to overall health.  Beets are an excellent source of fiber, aiding in digestion and promoting a healthy gut.  One of the most notable vitamins found in beets is vitamin C, an antioxidant that supports the immune system and helps in collagen production for healthy skin. Beets also provide several B vitamins, particularly folate (B9), which is essential for DNA synthesis and cell division, Folate plays a key role in controlling damage to blood vessels, which can lower your chances of heart disease and stroke.

For Heart Health & Healthy Blood Pressure

Beets are naturally high in nitrates, which are turned into nitric oxide in the body. This compound lowers blood pressure by causing the blood vessels to relax and widen

NO is extraordinarily important for the maintenance of cardiovascular health.

That’s because NO serves to signal involuntary smooth muscle cells to relax. 

Additionally, beets are rich in vitamin B6, which plays a vital role in brain health and metabolism. The presence of manganese and potassium further enhances their nutritional profile; manganese is important for bone health and metabolism, while potassium helps regulate blood pressure and supports heart health.

Their unique compounds, betalains, possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which can contribute to reducing chronic disease risk. Moreover, the high nitrate content in beets may improve athletic performance by enhancing blood flow and oxygen delivery during exercise.

BENEFITS OF FERMENTED BEETS:

• Rich in Probiotics*
• Promotes Cardiovascular Health*

• Rich in Fiber*

• Supports a healthy gut microbiome*
