Blueberry Coulis – Fermented
This 750 ml jar was filled with two cups of blueberries. Overnight they shrank to 1/4 of the jar! Yet look at the juice. I can’t wait to open the lid soon to blend into a coulis. One can use blueberries, blackberries, raspberries or strawberries. Berries are great sources of fiber, a nutrient important for a healthy digestive system. I have just learned that in addition to being good for the heart, berries may be good for bone health!
I chose to try blueberries as they are packed with antioxidants and I have heard they support keeping one’s memory sharp in aging.
Generally I add berries to a smoothie, however finding this recipe is exciting as it will increase the berries nutrients through the fermentation process, and improve gut health and reduce inflammation.
