Happier Tums & Sharper Minds

As the new school term begins, parents everywhere are looking for ways to keep their children nourished, focused, and full of energy. 

First stop is a healthier diet and after a Summer of sodas and ice cream, any parent will tell you this is a TOUGH challenge.

Lunchboxes are being packed and snacks planned, yet the question remains: how do we give kids the best start without resorting to ultra-processed options? 

Enter Loving Food’s Kiddykraut - a delicious, child-friendly fermented food that is fully Organic, flavour first and packed full of the good stuff like carrots and cabbage.

What is Kiddykraut?

Kiddykraut is a specially crafted, mild-tasting sauerkraut designed for younger palates. Made from simple, natural ingredients - finely shredded vegetables, sweet apples and a pinch of sea salt - it undergoes a traditional fermentation process. 

This natural method not only preserves these rich ingredients but also transforms them into a powerhouse of probiotics and nutrients.

Unlike sugary yogurts or flavoured drinks marketed as “probiotic,” Kiddykraut is 100% real food with no hidden additives. It’s crunchy, tangy, and tasty with a touch of sweetness as we’ve added a little apple.

Why It Works for Kids’ Health

When it comes to overall wellness, the gut-brain connection is huge. Around 70% of the immune system resides in the gut, and emerging research shows that a healthy gut microbiome supports not only digestion but also mood, concentration, and immunity.

• Boosts Digestion: The live cultures in Kiddykraut help balance gut bacteria, aiding digestion and nutrient absorption.

• Supports Immunity: A strong gut microbiome means fewer sick days and more resilience during cold and flu season.

• Improves Focus: Studies link gut health to cognitive function. A happy gut often means a sharper mind—perfect for the classroom.

Power Up The Plate

Kiddykraut isn’t just a side dish - it’s a versatile lunchbox hero. Here are some simple ways to include it in meals:

• Lunchbox Crunch: A small portion in a reusable pot alongside sandwiches or wraps.

• Wrap & Roll: Add a spoonful to a chicken or cheese wrap for extra flavor and crunch.

• Snack Time Saver: Pair it with cheese cubes or crackers for a probiotic-rich snack.

• Family Meals: Mix it into salads, top a baked potato, or serve with pasta for a nutritious twist.

Because Kiddykraut is naturally mild and slightly sweet from the carrots and apple, it’s an easy introduction to fermented foods for kids.

Fits the Bigger Picture

For parents trying to move away from ultra-processed snacks and embrace a healthier eating rethink, Kiddykraut is a simple swap that delivers big benefits:

• Whole Food Goodness: No artificial additives, flavors, preservatives - and NO added sugar.

• Plant-Based and Sustainable: Great for families reducing processed meats and prioritizing plant-forward meals.

• Convenience without Compromise: Ready to eat, no prep, and packed with natural goodness.

• Excellent value and always packaged in glass.

As we rethink what goes into lunchboxes and tea time tables this school year, Kiddykraut offers parents peace of mind: a product that aligns both modern nutrition science and traditional food wisdom. 

It’s about setting your kids up for success - physically, mentally, and emotionally - one crunchy bite at a time. Ready to give your child’s gut and brain the support they need this school year? Loving Food’s Kiddykraut makes it easy to add real, living nutrition to everyday meals.
