Would you eat raw fermented garlic? We do!

While .salas2380 famous garlic ferments are great for cooking, the benefits of eating raw fermented garlic are pretty epic. I asked ChatGPT to lay them out and here’s what it spit out:

Improved Digestibility: Fermentation breaks down the sulfur compounds and makes garlic easier to digest. It also reduces its harshness, making it gentler on the stomach.

Enhanced Nutrient Absorption: The fermentation process increases the bioavailability of nutrients like allicin, which boosts garlic’s health properties, including its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects.

Rich in Probiotics: Fermented garlic contains beneficial probiotics that support gut health. A healthy gut microbiome can enhance digestion, improve immune function, and reduce inflammation.

Boosted Immunity: Raw garlic is known for its immune-boosting properties, and fermentation amplifies these effects. Fermented garlic has more antioxidants, helping the body fight infections and reduce oxidative stress.

Improved Heart Health: Garlic helps lower cholesterol levels and blood pressure. Fermentation may enhance garlic’s ability to support cardiovascular health by improving the function of blood vessels.

Antioxidant Power: Fermentation increases the antioxidant content of garlic, which can protect cells from damage and reduce the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer.

Anti-inflammatory Properties: Garlic is naturally anti-inflammatory, and when fermented, this effect can be even more pronounced, which may help with conditions like arthritis and general inflammation in the body.

Detoxification: Garlic is known to support the liver and help detoxify the body. Fermented garlic may enhance this detoxifying effect by providing additional beneficial compounds.

Antimicrobial and Antifungal Properties: Garlic is a natural antibiotic, and fermentation enhances its antimicrobial properties. Eating raw fermented garlic may help fight infections and improve overall health.

Still a few jars left of this stuff 😍

Great news!

non-alcoholic bitters go in just about every cocktail we make. This business was started by two former sommeliers at The French Laundry that gave up drinking and went all in on alcohol-free bitters.

Their company values sustainability, quality ingredients, crafted products and and .blessing are two of the biggest influential people in the NA cocktail space and dare i say it, have kinda become friends.

Snag a bottle or two during your next visit to the tasting room.

We’re open this weekend 5-9pm 🥰🥰🥰
