Mango & Pomegranate Fermented Hot Sauce

Lacto-fermented Chilli with Mango and Pomegranate

Prepared by Amanita Ferment Station, this product is unpasteurized, naturally rich in live cultures, and lacto-fermented with organic sea salt. The term "lacto" refers to lactic acid, the natural preservative created by beneficial Lactobacillus bacteria that are naturally present on fresh produce. Historically, hot sauces were lacto-fermented with salt to develop their flavor and tang, but modern production often cuts this process short by adding vinegar for acidity and preservation. Unlike these modern sauces, ours is a true lacto-fermented product, providing not only a bright tang and delicious funk but also the living microbes that are crucial for a healthy and diverse gut microbiome.

In our modern world, gut flora biodiversity is declining due to the overuse of antibiotics, antibacterial cleansers, chlorinated water, and chemical exposure. This makes cultivating greater microbial diversity within ourselves even more compelling. Regularly consuming raw, unpasteurized fermented foods is a powerful way to achieve this because they act as probiotic foods. The fermentation process not only introduces beneficial lactic acid bacteria, but it also creates a rich and diverse community of microbes. This complex mixture of beneficial bacteria, combined with the fibre from the ingredients themselves, helps to support and strengthen your digestive system.
