Do Good By Your Gut
At Clean Eating, we’ve often discussed the importance of fermented foods for optimal gut health, so we’d be remiss not to mention lifelong fermenter Andy Hamilton’s latest book, Fermenting Everything, out now. Whether you’ve never heard of kimchi or kombucha or you’re an old hand at fermentation, this book is a compilation of seemingly endless recipes for any skill level. $22, The Countryman Press
Make Charity a Priority
That’s exactly what Bay Area food brand Amy’s Kitchen did through exceptional charitable services during the COVID-19 crisis. The company donated over 150,000 meals to US food banks, delivered 6,000 surgical masks to local hospitals and provided free meals to Bay Area hospitals and to medical staff and first responders at their drive- through locations. They’re also protecting their workers with masks and eye gear, offering paid leave to staff over 65 years old and adjusting operations so more people can work from home. amys.com/covid-19-updates
