"Perhaps the most important things in my kitchen are live and active probiotics." Maybe that’s not something you hear often, but it’s something you’ll hear from Amanda Chantal Bacon, founder of cult Los Angeles juice shop and haute health food brand Moon Juice. For the next couple of days, we’re chatting with Bacon about the nutritive qualities of foods you might not be familiar with. In today’s post, we’re talking about probiotics, probiotic-rich fermented and cultured foods, and Bacon’s suggestions for getting more of both in your diet.
What they are: “Probiotics are microbes with beneficial bacteria that restore the natural balance in your gut,” explained Bacon. She sometimes takes probiotics in supplement form, and she also mixes vegetables with a probiotic powder that she sells via the Moon Juice pantry. ”That’s what we call a cultured food,” she said. Fermented foods, such as sauerkraut and kimchi, also contain probiotics.
Why she thinks they’re good for you: Bacon believes probiotics populate the intestines with organisms that defend against disease. “A healthy gut is key; you’ll start to notice smoother digestion, increased energy, elevated mood, glowing skin, stronger immunity, and potent liver cleansing,” she said.
