Nurturing Gut Health Thursday 18th November, 4.30pm - 6.30pm

Niamh believes in the importance of education when it comes to living and creating a healthy lifestyle. That’s why Plenitude run workshops to educate and demonstrate how to make Sauerkraut.  Taking place at Rock Farm, Thursday 18th November 4.30pm - 6.30pm, you will make your own jar of kraut to take home and learn how to customize making it to your own taste. For just €45 this workshop is the perfect way to start building your fermented food larder and a super option for homemade Christmas gifts.

Plenitude is a small, female owned business based in Cavan. Owned and ran by Niamh O’Donnell, Plenitude adapts traditional sauerkraut recipes filled with the diversity of bacteria that can promote healthy gut flora. Their products don’t just focus on health either, they are made to taste great while also doing great things for your body. Using only locally grown organic or foraged vegetables Plenitude creates flavours including apple and beetroot, pear and fennel & seaweed and carrot so it’s easy and delicious to look after your gut health.

Over the last 5 years Gut Health has become an important priority for many. Google searches for the term have quadrupled since 2016 with a vast number of us realising the importance of maintaining a healthy gut flora. Books like the Emeran Mayer’s The Mind Gut Connection as well as various wellness companies have helped bring gut health and the microbiome to the forefront of people’s mind. However, for many, the process of integrating healthy gut practices into every day life can seem daunting. That’s were Plenitude comes in.
