Diversity is key to gut health, so that single strain in your probiotics capsule? 💊 🚫 Not going to cut it. Studies show that 4-7 servings of fermented foods and drinks per day can dramatically increase microbiome diversity, and tame inflammation in the body… For Fermentation February, we’re sharing some easy recipes for delicious ways to enjoy the benefits of fermentation!
Our second one of 2025 is: Labneh. A delicious, probiotic-rich West Asian breakfast staple.
Homemade Labneh Recipe:
- 32oz whole milk plain yogurt (low-fat works too)
- 1/2 tsp salt
Steps:
Line a colander with a cheese cloth (or light kitchen towel). Mix the salt and yogurt, and the pour onto the lined colander. Fold the sides of the cheese cloth over the yogurt to completely cover. Place the colander into a large bowl to catch excess liquid. The whey will strain out over time - the longer you strain, the thicker and tangier the result. Anywhere from 8-16 hours is perfect (we recommend 12), but don't exceed 16. Once ready, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy!
