L. Gasseri Superfood Starter Culture

Cutting Edge Culture's unique L. Gasseri Superfood Starter was conceived as a method of introducing high quantities of the beneficial l. gasseri probiotic microbe into your microbiome. You can do that by fermenting the starter culture in dairy for 36 hours at a low temperature, with the addition of prebiotic fiber.

Lactobacillus Gasseri (L. Gasseri) is one of the most important gastrointestinal (GI) microbes of the thousand or so species in the human intestinal microbiome. It is likely a “keystone” species, a species that is important for the proliferation and metabolism of numerous other microbes.*

L. Gasseri Superfood may look, taste, and smell like yogurt, but it is not a yogurt. It's a cultured dairy, made with L. Gasseri -- a completely different  bacteria  than yogurt.

This ‘low and slow’ method enables the L. Gasseri to proliferate many times over, until there are hundreds of billions of live probiotic bacteria in the jar. You will need an appliance that can maintain a constant temperature of 100F for 36 hours. For example, a yogurt maker with an adjustable temperature setting, a sous-vide, an Instant Pot / slow cooker / brewing or kombucha warmer/heater - if these can be set to 100F. The ideal device will allow you to set the temperature and set the time, for worry-free fermentation.

Prebiotic fibre is required to make this cultured dairy superfood, we recommend Cutting Edge Cultures PreBio Plus.

The resulting concentrations of L. Gasseri are much higher than can be obtained from supplements*, and from yogurts, including homemade ones, which are typically fermented relatively quickly.

The end-product is a rich, thick, delicious, pleasantly-tart, and super-healthy cultured dairy product.*
