Curtido
A traditional condiment in Central American culture, curtido is similar to sauerkraut but with lots more going on flavor-wise. A base of fermented cabbage gets kicked up a notch with grated carrots, jalapeños (just a few!) and oregano added to the mix.
Postpartum Benefits:
- A diverse community of live cultures from a slow, wild ferment
- Live cultures — the gut–brain axis is one of nutrition research's most active areas
- Enzymes and live cultures from fermentation — traditionally served alongside rich meals
- Provides bioavailable nutrients and increased B vitamins
- Fermented the old way, with nothing added to stop it

48-Hour Bone Broth
Organic, grass-fed beef bones plus organic carrots, celery, onions, garlic, and fresh rosemary = pure postpartum magic. A splash of organic apple cider vinegar before the 48-hour simmer allows for maximum mineral extraction, making calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus available in a form your body can actually absorb when you're depleted.
Ancestral Albondigas
Albondigas is a traditional Mexican stew of meatballs and vegetables in broth-- ours is catered specifically to postpartum mothers. We use a blend of grass-fed beef, beef heart and beef liver. The ratio matters: enough organ meat to give you concentrated nutrition, enough regular beef to keep the flavor rich and familiar.
Warming Chicken Soup
This chicken soup is designed to be familiar yet new-- not quite your grandma's chicken soup, but still a chicken soup for the postpartum soul. Like any good chicken soup, it's built in layers: dashi made with kombu and local, organic dried mushrooms, our 48-hour bone broth, fresh ginger and organic white miso for depth and beneficial probiotics.
