Let's talk fermented foods!
Fermented foods don’t typically get put in the category of “best first foods” even though they’re highly nutritious and offer a number of health benefits for your baby!
Fermented foods are rich in probiotics, which can help support your baby’s digestion, boost their immune system, and even introduce them to new, exciting flavors. We’ll walk you through the benefits of fermented foods, when and how to introduce them to your little one, and the safest ways to incorporate them into your baby’s diet.
In this week's blog on fermented foods for baby, we cover:
- Can babies eat fermented foods?
- 10 fermented foods that are safe for babies
- Are there fermented foods that should be avoided or limited?
- What are the benefits of offering fermented foods?
- Introducing fermented foods to your baby
- How to serve fermented foods to your baby
- Risks of offering fermented foods to your baby
Sauerkraut Egg Cups

- 1 ½ tsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 5 Eggs (whisked)
- 1 cup Sauerkraut (rinsed and drained)
- 2 tbsp Milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF (190ºC). Grease a muffin pan with the olive oil or use parchment muffin liners.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, sauerkraut, and milk. Pour the mixture into the muffin pan, almost to the top of each compartment.
- Bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the egg cups are golden brown and cooked through. Enjoy!
