Kimchi Farmer Cheese Grilled Cheese

Spice things up in the best way with our Kimchi Farmer Cheese Grilled Cheese Sandwich! We’re taking a classic grilled cheese sandwich, and then elevating it with probiotics from our tastefully tangy, protein-packed Lifeway Farmer Cheese and chopped spicy kimchi—another probiotic powerhouse! Kimchi, also known as Korean sauerkraut, is well-known for its probiotics, but it’s also high in prebiotic fiber that’s a winning combination for optimal gut health. Fusing Korean kimchi with regular cheese and Lifeway Farmer Cheese gives the sandwich a spicy kick and loads of creamy goodness along with microbiome-loving magic.

The Benefits of Cultured Dairy for Better Health:

Research continues to show the importance of eating healthy foods, including cultured dairy such as kefir, for better gut health, a strong immune system, and to support the microbiome. Fermented foods like kefir hold important value in this line of research due to the link between the gut-brain axis and overall health.

Specifically, kefir has been shown to help diversify the microbiome, improve digestion, reduce inflammation, and even help support healthier blood sugar levels and improve levels of satiety due to how it triggers the release of GLP-1 since it is an excellent source of protein and high in bioavailable nutrition.Lifeway Kefir contains a variety of nutrients that are vital for healthy bones and overall health: vitamin D3, K, calcium, and vitamin B12. Lifeway also offers our artisan-made Farmer Cheese, a creamy cultured cheese made with live and active cultures to support a healthy microbiome that is also an excellent source of complete protein.
