The Cultured Carrot was founded by Palak Sadarangani, a health coach practicing an Ayurvedic lifestyle and Kristin Simpson, a pharmacist with a holistic lifestyle approach. Both busy moms of young kids were blown away by the research and study of the microbiome. Up to 80% of our immune system is found in the gut. Eating fermented foods adds good bacteria to our guts to help maintain the balance we need for a healthy immune system. Palak and Kristin knew a healthy microbiome was the key to their families overall health and they had to get more probiotics from fermented foods in their families diet - so they created a line of fermented vegetable dressings, crafted from 100% organic ingredients and rich in natural prebiotics + probiotics. The Cultured Carrot dressings capture all the goodness of organic fermented vegetables using traditional vegetable preservation. Each gorgeous bottle is bursting with color from phytonutrients and the amazing biodiversity of functional microbes. They have only pure avocado oil, are raw, dairy and gluten-free, vegan, gut-friendly and taste delicious.
