I found this information from the Farmhouse Culture website to be very helpful when it comes to understanding probiotics!

What Are Probiotics?

Probiotics are the “good bacteria” that live on and around us – some of which are naturally found in our bodies, and some of which can be attained by eating live, probiotic-rich foods. As defined by the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO), probiotics are “live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host.”

What Are The Benefits Of Eating Probiotics? Our bodies are home to trillions of bacteria, and we’re learning more every day about how essential it is to our overall well-being to keep that community of bacteria (aka our microbiome) balanced. Things like poor diet, stress, medication, illness, aging and even traveling can throw our microbiome out of balance, but a probiotic-rich diet can help. Based on the most recent literature, we know that probiotic bacteria play a key role in:

  • Regulating the immune system
  • Boosting energy production and supporting a healthy metabolism   
  • Assisting with the absorption of vitamins and minerals   
  • Improving digestion   
  • Aiding in brain and mood functions

  • Add one tablespoon of cooking oil to a baking dish and lay out the florets with room around each one, this helps them to roast evenly. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes, rotating at least once.
  • Meanwhile mix all other ingredients together.
