Tangy, flavorful and incredibly delicious, it is one of the easiest ways to increase diversity in our gut microbiome and support healthy digestion!  Even a tablespoon a day is enough to flood your microbiome with gut-supporting probiotics, and it really doesn&#8217;t get easier than this! If you&#8217;ve made our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.feastingathome.com\/sauerkraut\/\">sauerkraut<\/a> or kimchi recipe, you&#8217;ll love this! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What I love about this easy recipe is how you can use veggies you already have on hand that need to be used up. A gut shot is different from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.feastingathome.com\/kombucha\/\">kombucha<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.feastingathome.com\/water-kefir\/\">water kefir<\/a> in that it is savory, not sweet, with no added sugar. And with no dairy, it is vegan and of course, gluten-free. With just 15 minutes of hands-on time, you&#8217;ll have a healthy, potent, gut-healthy brew with very little cost or effort in 3-5 days. Mother Nature is incredible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-you-ll-love-this\">Why You&#8217;ll Love This<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Incredibly nutritious! <\/strong>Full of raw fermented plant foods that provide healthy probiotics to support gut health and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.feastingathome.com\/immunity-boosting-foods\/\">boost immunity!<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use up extra veggies.<\/strong> A convenient way to use up leftover vegetables!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Quick and easy.<\/strong> Only 15 minutes of hands-on time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-does-a-gut-shot-taste-like\">What Does a Gut Shot Taste Like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike kombucha or kefir, the gut shot is savory and made from vegetables. It is not sweet and has no added sugar. The flavor is tangy, pleasantly salty, almost like pickle brine, only even better!  The longer you ferment it, the tangier it will taste. For optimal taste, ferment for 5 days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-gut-shot-ingredients\">Gut Shot Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.feastingathome.com\/gut-shot\/?tp_image_id=73135\" src=\"https:\/\/www.feastingathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fermented-vegetable-brine.jpg\" alt=\"ingredients needed for making a homemade gut shot laid out on cloth - vegetables, whole spices, salt.\" class=\"wp-image-73135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.feastingathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fermented-vegetable-brine.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.feastingathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fermented-vegetable-brine-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.feastingathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fermented-vegetable-brine-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.feastingathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fermented-vegetable-brine-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.feastingathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fermented-vegetable-brine-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.feastingathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fermented-vegetable-brine-380x570.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.feastingathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fermented-vegetable-brine-760x1140.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.feastingathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fermented-vegetable-brine-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><strong>Organic vegetables<\/strong>:<\/strong> Choose 2-3 veggies, such as celery, carrots, fennel, bell pepper, red beets, or cabbage.

(In winter, I leave it on my kitchen counter and check daily for any seeds that may have escaped and floated to the surface. In summer, placing the jar in a cool basement or lower cupboard is ideal.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let this ferment for 3-4 days, then taste. The longer you ferment, the more tangy it will become. As the healthy bacteria &#8220;eat&#8221; the sugars or lactose from the veggies, they create acidity; also known as lacto-fermentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lacto-fermentation is a two-step process: in the first step, the salt inhibits the bad bacteria, allowing the good bacteria to grow, flourish and have more space. Once the good guys grow, they feed on the sugars in the veggies and produce the acidity as a byproduct. This is the second stage or step. <em>The tangy flavor indicates it has indeed reached the second step and is fermenting. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like to leave this five days for optimum flavor. You may notice bubbles as you tap the jar. Or a slight cloudiness. Both are good signs. The jar should smell like pickle juice- clean and briny. Once satisfied with the smell and flavor, place the fermented brine in the fridge, lightly covered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will continue to ferment in the refrigerator but more slowly and will keep indefinitely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.feastingathome.com\/gut-shot\/?tp_image_id=73124\"  data-pin-title=\"Probiotic Gut Shot\"  data-pin-description=\"Rich in probiotics, the Gut Shot is a fermented vegetable drink that supports gut health by creating diversity in the gut microbiome\u2014an easy step-by-step guide using veggies you already have with just 15 minutes of hands-on time. \" src=\"https:\/\/www.feastingathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fermented-vegetable-brine-14.jpg\" alt=\"fermented gut shot in mason jar with vegetables and liquid sealed with an airlock.\" class=\"wp-image-73124\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.feastingathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fermented-vegetable-brine-14.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.feastingathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fermented-vegetable-brine-14-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.feastingathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fermented-vegetable-brine-14-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.feastingathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fermented-vegetable-brine-14-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.feastingathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fermented-vegetable-brine-14-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.feastingathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fermented-vegetable-brine-14-380x570.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.feastingathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fermented-vegetable-brine-14-760x1140.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.feastingathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/fermented-vegetable-brine-14-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-serving-and-storage\">Serving and Storage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For optimal microbiome health, drink a 2-ounce gut shot every day (just strain it out of the jar).  Consider this your daily dose of digestive strength! It is a positive habit to add to your daily routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TIP: If you are new to probiotics, start with one teaspoon or one tablespoon per meal per day. You can gradually work up from there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also take a shot before each meal. They can give you a boost for the day when taken in the morning, or you can take it after a meal to stimulate digestion. We think the flavor is delicious, but if it&#8217;s too tangy or savory for you, try diluting it a bit with water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The veggies are edible and are full of probiotics too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to keep the cultures alive and active, store in the refrigerator in a sealed jar. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"block-faq-title\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading block-faq-title__title\" id=\"h-gut-shot-faqs\">Gut shot FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1705078931466\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is in a gut shot?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Store-bought gut shots are usually made with sugar and juices, but this homemade gut shot is savory, made with fermented organic vegetables (creating a vegetable juice), sea salt, whole spices, and filtered water. <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1705079090713\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Do gut shots actually work?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes!

Press down a little.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-6\">Make the brine using a 3% solution. Mix 4 cups filtered water with 1 \u00bd tablespoons sea salt. Pour this over the weighted cabbage leaves. Fill the jar, leaving 1 1\/2 inches of headroom. If you need more brine to fill the jar, use 1 cup water with 1 teaspoon salt.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-7\">If any seeds or scraps float to the top, remove them with a slotted spoon. Any debris that floats to the surface may cause mold, so everything needs to be submerged under the brine. ( You can check for this daily during the fermentation period.)<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-8\">Cover, but do not tighten the lid, and place over a plate to catch any overflow. You want the bubbles from the fermentation to be able to escape.\u00a0 You can also use an airlock system (see photos above).<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-9\">Place it in a cool place; 65F-70F is ideal. ( In winter, I leave it on my kitchen counter and check daily for any seeds that may have escaped and floated to the surface. In summer, placing the jar in a cool basement or lower cupboard is ideal. )<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-10\">Let this ferment for 3 days, then taste. The longer you ferment, the more tangy it will become. I like to leave this 5 days for optimum flavor. Place in the fridge, lightly covered, you can remove the weight at this point. It will continue to ferment in the refrigerator but more slowly and will keep indefinitely.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-11\">Drink a 2-ounce glass full of gut shot each day or with each meal.
