Watch: Marika Day’s high culture comfort food

Staff Writer - 2 min watch

18 November 2019

Prebiotics and probiotics might seem mysterious to you, but they’re well-known to your gut. In this video, Marika Day makes a tasty dish that’s perfect for a healthy gut.

Probiotics are the good bacteria that live inside your gut, keeping it – and you – healthy and happy. They’re found in live-culture and fermented foods like yoghurt, kimchi and kombucha. Prebiotics, on the other hand, are the fibres that feed the probiotics, and are found in foods like onions and asparagus.

As part of Love Your Gut Month, dietitian Marika Day showed us how to create a ‘high culture’ version of the quintessential comfort food – nachos.
