Part 3 of 4 for Coles Kraut Check: The Kimchi Company, $7.10 👀
Unlike the Marco sauerkraut from Part 2 (dead, heat-treated, $4.50), this one is still alive — you can hear the gas escaping when you crack the lid. That's real fermentation still happening.
The catch? Added sugar, plastic packaging, chemical sprayed veggies.
So is it worth $7.10? Watch and decide. Part 4 drops tomorrow, then the full Coles kraut showdown 🥬

Coles Kraut Check — Part 2 of 4 🛒
Marco Sauerkraut from Coles — $4.50.
Sometimes the cheap stuff is actually more expensive. Here's why.
Ingredients: cabbage, salt, and acids listed as preservatives. The lid pop when opening is NOT a fermentation indicator — it's shows heat treatment post jarring.
There's nothing alive in this jar. I tasted it on camera so you don't have to guess.
$4.50 for dead sauerkraut. Worth it? You decide. 👀

Coles Fermented Veggie Check — Part 1 of 4 🛒
I've been to Coles and picked up three fermented products: The Kimchi Company ($7.10), Keep It Cleaner Kimchi ($9), and Marco Sauerkraut ($4.50).
Over the next three videos I'm going to review each one — honestly. What's actually in them, how they're made, and whether they're worth your money.
Follow along if you've ever wondered what's really in supermarket fermented foods. 👀

A friend told me this story recently. 😅
He woke up feeling rough. Soon his bile was rising.
In desperation he dashed to the kitchen and chugged a bottle of kraut juice.
Maybe instinct, maybe his body knew exactly what it needed — but the good bacteria went to war with whatever was making him sick. And won. Never threw up. Felt better fast.
He says he now looks forward to the next time he gets sick. 😂

The smell of rain is actually from bacteria. 🌧️
It's called petrichor — released by soil bacteria called actinomycetes. And your nose can detect it at 1 part per trillion. That's not a coincidence. We evolved to be drawn to it because we need it.
People who spend regular time outdoors show a measurable increase in gut microbiome diversity compared to those who stay mostly indoors.
The problem? Most of us aren't outside anywhere near enough. Aircon, dust, sealed buildings — we've cut ourselves off from the microbial world our guts were built for.
Get outside. Play in the dirt. And if that's not always possible — Gutsy gives you trillions of good bacteria in every jar. Without the mess.

A piece of falling roofing metal severed my achilles tendon completely last year.
The surgeon told me there was nothing I could do to speed healing. "Just don't drink or smoke."
I though I could do more.
I can't prove what made the difference — but every single day during recovery I ate:
🥬 Sauerkraut — to keep inflammation down while the tendon rebuilt
🍖 Bone broth — collagen and minerals directly for connective tissue repair
💊 Collagen powder — the raw protein tendons are literally made of
🍊 Vitamin C — essential for collagen synthesis
Six months later I was running again.
I started Gutsy because I needed these products and couldn't find them made properly in Australia. That's still why we make them.

Here's something no one's talking about in gut health.
Liquids travel further and faster into your gastrointestinal tract than solids. That's why Coke is more damaging than cake — liquid sugar hits your bloodstream faster than any solid food ever could.
Same principle works in your favour with a probiotic gut shot. It seeds your gut more deeply and faster than sauerkraut alone.
Two liquids. One tears your gut apart. One builds it.
Which one are you drinking? 🫙

$4.4 vs $16.80. Here's exactly what you're comparing.
Supermarket sauerkraut ($4.40)
❌ Heated — bacteria killed
❌ Non-organic, chemical-sprayed vegetables
❌ vinegar added
❌ veggies not fermented
Gutsy ($16.80)
✅ Billions of live probiotics
✅ Organic vegetables
✅ 28+ day ferment
✅ Oak barrel fermented
The cheaper jar isn't a bargain. It's a completely different product that won't do what you're buying it for.
Your gut knows the difference. 🫙

Every single jar behind me took at least 28 days to ferment.
Most commercial sauerkraut brands? Five days.
Here's why that gap matters for your gut.
Bacteria in fermented food follow a growth curve. In the first few days the count is still climbing steeply — it hasn't come close to peaking. By day 28 it has fully matured and plateaued. That's the bacteria density your gut actually needs.
When a commercial brand pulls their kraut at day 5, they're selling you a product that never finished what it started.
We wait. Because your gut is worth it.
