Gut Loving Cabbage Sauerkraut

Written By Leanne de Groot

Ingredients:

- 1/2 small Red Cabbage

- 1 good handful of grated apple

- 1 Tbsp sea salt

- Coriander Seeds

- 1tsp of fennel Seeds or 2-3drops Fennel Essential Oil (high grade quality)

Method:

Shred the cabbage thinly and sprinkle with sea salt

Squeeze and massage for 10 minutes until a good amount of liquid appears

Mix in grated apple, coriander seeds and fennel seeds (or fennel oil)

Pack into a clean class jar tightly so the liquid rises to the top. Make sure to leave around 2cm clear at the top of the jar.

Cover with Cabbage leaves and tuck in so the shredded cabbage is airtight and beneath the liquid

Place lid on jar & cover and leave in a dark cool place for about 5-7days

Burp Jars daily until it stops bubbling then it’s ok to place in the fridge to enjoy!

My contribution is a union of nutrition, mindfulness, meditation, breathwork & movement intertwined with behaviour change and how it impacts a life worth living.

As a health and fitness professional, I want to shift the paradigm toward one of self-love and self-care instead of an aesthetic insecurity-based industry. Let’s move away from the trail of being overweight, body shape dissatisfaction, the daily dose of pharmaceutical and social drugs, persistent envy, unhappiness, anxiety, depression, and a life full of pressure to keep up, skip steps, and rush.

Living without awareness and intention creates pressures that we are not doing, we are not moving fast enough, as bosses, workers, weekend warriors, friends, lovers, parents, siblings, or grandparents. We have to be able and willing to step outside the pull of unhealthy and unhealthful cultural norms and make the critical space to do our meaningful thinking.

The first thing I need people to take in is if they are going to work with me or read my work because for me this re-frames the core of moving through all obstacles we have around stress, rush, health, weight, etc … The very blantant truth is that living under the guise of society’s expectations - is not living.

We have been fed a narrative that stepping outside or away from norms is the wrong way to exist and this narrative furthers unhappiness, unhealthiness, pressure, and a life that is too fast to enjoy.

Wherever we are, this is life—it’s happening right now, and I’ve decided that I am not going to rush through it and I invite you to join me today …
