Of all the foods we eat on GAPS, I daresay the ferments are up there as the most important. The ones that come to mind immediately are yogurt and sauerkraut, but there are many other ferments you can get to help the good bacteria replenished in your gut. I wanted to compile a list and once I got started I was amazed at how many recipes out there to try. I have only tried a handful of these recipes: sauerkraut, cortido, radishes, pickles, carrots, yogurt, water kefir, dairy kefir, kombucha and beet kvass.
