Creamy Basil Sauce (with Kefir) - Recipe Redux - Fresh Food Perspectives This is my second month participating in the Recipe Redux - a network of blogging RD's that create a healthy recipe every month based on a challenge/theme. This month's challenge was to create a recipe using a fermented food (sauerkraut, miso, yogurt, preserved lemons, sourdough bread, etc.) Fermentation is an ancient process that has been found to actually increase the nutrient content of some foods. While I have not tried any fermenting of my own, I eat one particular fermented food daily - Kefir milk. Kefir is a cultured milk that is similar to a drinking yogurt in taste and texture. It's creamy and sour/tangy; perhaps an aquired taste.
