We suggest consuming fermented foods in your diet with every meal. Slowly introduce fermented foods into your diet as they can cause digestive upset when consumed in large amounts. Start with 1 tablespoon of fermented foods per day and gradually work up to what you can tolerate.
Nope! Our products are raw and made without any heat. This helps to preserve the freshness, crunch, and sometimes probiotic benefits and bacteria developed throughout the fermentation process.
Our organic selections currently include our entire sauerkraut lineup! While we always strive for organic options, supply of organic produce can cause out of stocks for long periods of time. More organic offerings to come!
Short answer: Everyone. The naturally occurring cultures in our krauts, kimchi, srirachas and chickpea salads can help strengthen your immune system, promote and maintain a healthy digestive tract, boost metabolism, improve skin health, and so much more. Plus, they taste delicious!
All wildbrine products are best consumed within 10 days after opening, however if you use clean servingware and leave the vegetables submerged, wildbrine fermented products should maintain their quality until the best buy date marked on the packaging.
Wildbrine products are available at various retailers across the USA and Canada. Some to note: Whole Foods, Sprouts, Costco, The Fresh Market, Kroger, and many more. Check out our Where To Buy page to find product near you!
Sure thing!
Yes! All of our products are gluten-free and vegan.
Yes! All wildbrine products are certified through the Non-GMO Project.
Salt has been used to preserve and ferment food for thousands of years. Salt is a powerful agent that naturally suppresses the bad (disease and mold-forming) bacteria from the produce, allowing the wild and good microbes to proliferate. This results in a healthy and safe fermentation process, and creates a delicious, tangy taste.
Every wildbrine product is closed up in pressure-sensitive BPA-free plastic containers. Our products do not seal for safety or quality reasons. Our jars are completely reusable and recyclable type 1 PET.
Yes! You can freeze our products. However, freezing does kill most of the living beneficial bacteria, so most of the probiotic benefits would be eliminated. The veggies will still taste great, but just won't have the same probiotic benefits.
No, you can taste fermented foods fresh from the jar. Just make sure to avoid backwashing into the container as this can introduce bad bacteria into the jar and compromise the ferment.
Let your food hang out on the counter for 10 minutes for the pressure to equalize and make opening much easier. This warms up the lid and makes it easier to open. Or, try flipping the jar upside down on a flat surface. Then try to lightly unscrew the lid.
