Rolled Ham and Sauerkraut
Incredibly healthy and full of essential nutrients like fiber, vitamins, and minerals, sauerkraut is one of the best ingredients you can add to your dishes, especially now at time of these colds and flus!
Most of our immune system is located in our gut, so it may come as no surprise that the gut-supporting properties of sauerkraut may also be of benefit. The good bacteria or probiotics, from sauerkraut, help to keep the lining of your digestive system healthy. A strong gut lining stops any unwanted substances or toxins from ‘leaking’ into your body and thereby causing an immune response. These same bacteria may also support your natural antibodies and reduce your risk of infections.
As well as being a source of probiotics, sauerkraut also provides vitamin C and iron, nutrients known to support a stronger immune response.
