High consumption of dairy and fast foods comes with&nbsp; a host of gut issues. But luckily enough, we can heal ourselves with the help of fermented foods! Fermentation is an ancient food preservation method that yields ultra healthy foods containing \u201cfriendly bacteria\u201d aka probiotics, and with a sharp, irresistible umami flavour! Perfect for a happy gut! A lot of people think dairy yoghurt is the best source of probiotics, but there are actually many other ways to get probiotics on a plant-based diet! In this article, we list the 9 best sources of vegan probiotics. 1. Kimchi This spicy Korean side dish is created from salted, fermented vegetables, usually Chinese cabbage and radishes. The distinct taste comes from a paste made of Korean chilli flakes, garlic, ginger, red pepper and sugar. Kimchi undergoes a process of wild fermentation that produces an abundance of vegan probiotics! 2. Sauerkraut Similar to Kimchi, Sauerkraut is made with cabbage, but with no flavouring.
