Hayley Milthorpe: The Cultured Food Company

 

Hayley Milthorpe is the creator of The Cultured Food Company. She’s also a mother, nutritionist and passionate advocate for the health benefits of fermented foods.

Described as a trend setter, her company has been leading the way in Ireland for the last 8 years by producing a range of organic fermented vegetable from sauerkraut to kimchi — making probiotic rich foods accessible for all.

In today’s episode we talk about:

  • Why eating “bacteria” is good for you

  • How Hayley got into the weird and wonderful world of fermented food

  • Simple dietary changes you can make to improve your mental health

  • Why our ancestors ate fermented food

  • (And the idea that fermented foods are now a missing food group)

  • Why probiotic foods are strangely addictive

  • And how she went from selling jars of sauerkraut at the local farmers market to getting her products on the shelf of Lidl
