In-Season Recipe:  Pickles 

Here are a few creative pickling recipes to get you thinking about preserving the harvest!  Check out the health benefits of pickling below:

Excellent source of probiotics 
Similar to those found in yogurt, probiotic cultures produced during lactic acid fermentation of vegetables are known to have many health benefits, such as
  • Improved intestinal tract health
  • Enhanced immune system function
  • Improved availability of nutrients
  • Decreased allergies
  • Inflammation relief
  • Protection against microbial infection
  • Maintenance of gut flora that may help to control weight gain and appetite

Improved pediatric health and developmentMay reduce cold and flu symptoms and the need for antibiotics. Contributes to pediatric immune system development.Possible cancer risk reductionEvidence shows that probiotics may reduce the risk of colon cancer. Improved mental healthRecent studies suggest that gut microbiota communicate with the central nervous system and positively impact brain function and behavior, including anxiety, mood, cognition, and pain. Fast gene evolution and adaptationThe gut microbiome acts as a “hot spot” for horizontal gene transfer between microbes. This increases the potential for adaptability of our intestinal health to both external and internal stressors.All references from:  http://www.realpickles.com/health.html
