Microbiome Starter Pack

Need to give your microbiome a kick-start? Our Microbiome Starter Pack can help! It includes these living, soy-free, fermented foods:

• 6 of our living soy-free tempeh
  • 2 - 8 oz. Black Beauty (black beans, millet, sunflower seeds)
  • 2 - 8 oz. Colorado (pinto beans, millet quinoa)
  • 2 - 8 oz. Sesame Delightful (chickpeas, sesame seeds, quinoa)
• 1 - 8 oz. jar of our living chickpea miso (soy-free)
• 1 - 8 oz. jar of our Umami Parm (contains live cultures from our miso)
• 1 - 8 oz. jar of our living Lacto-fermented Mustard (same cultures as sauerkraut)

Everything contains living cultures! But you should cook our tempeh. However, it is still great for gut health as it contains prebiotics (fiber and resistant starch that feed your gut bacteria) and then that leads to postbiotics when your gut bacteria digests the prebiotics. More on how that is good for you.

All tempeh is soy-free and contains no gluten ingredients. All do have a very small amount of rice flour that is included with the tempeh starter to help spread the spores better.
