Gut-health products, minus the hype

What's on Australian shelves, what to check on the label, and when it's cheaper to make it yourself. Then a first look at what we're making.

Examples in Australia

Powders that add concentrated fibre to water or food.

Examples in Australia

Fermented vegetables

Sauerkraut, kimchi and pickles made by natural fermentation.

Examples in Australia
