Bacteria is my Gut's BFF
Saturday April 5, 2025 1:00pm - 2:15pm CDT
Community Hall, 1st Floor
In this workshop teachers will learn about the function of the gut microbiome and what foods they can grow in their gardens and turn them into tasty prebiotics and probiotics.

There will be taste examples of homemade kombucha, and fermented goods a combination of cabbage, carrots, and hot peppers made by me, Chef BB from Roosevelt HS.

We will help teachers design one meal using aromatics: like garden herbs and
Bitters: like arugula, asparragus, dill, radishes and kale

Teachers will walk away with a recipe and methods to make their own kombucha, their own fermented veggies and we will talk about different fermented foods among different cultures and indigenous practices.
There will be a game - like check your knowledge to see how much teachers know about their digestice track.

Last but not least- How can we help our students achieve a good gut bacteria, and how to integrate this topic in our lessons.
