You can buy it in the polis shops. Ask for in salt, not in vinegar as the salted versions contain the live good bacteria. (The bad ones die in the salt.) Or make at home with a salt solution 2% or max 3% unrefined sea salt. 2% = 20 gram per liter or approx. 2 tablespoons per liter. Just chop up any raw veggies like cabbage, kale, carrots or what you like into a glass jar with lid ( the one from the polish shop), push it down and pour the salt solution (brine) to cover it and more. As long as all is below the level of the brine no mold will form at the top. Takes about 7 days in room temp to complete. Lasts a year in the fridge or "food cellar" temp. Provides both probiotic bacteria and prebiotic food that will start reduce blood sugar two ways: More propionate and butyrate to repair insulin resistance, and less blood sugar rising carbs when more resistant is consumed! Add soaked oats daily with about 14% (very high!) resistant starch compared to cooked oats that have only 1.5%.
Diabetes and metabolic syndrome may soon become history! I am trying.
Started some on Tuesday... trying not to look to see how it is getting on... photo later if up to snuff.
