Is it possible that a little jar of Heirloom Tomato Compote is the answer to the world's health conditions?
The label says that this compote is naturally cultured, full of beneficial micro-organisms. Those beneficial micro-organisms hardly ever get the press they deserve. So let me make an attempt to correct that. It would start like this:
Yes, Jadzia, there is a trill inside of you. More exactly, there are a few trillion trills inside of you. And they have to be there for humans to live. The symbiotic relationship means that those little micro-organisms need us as much as we need them.
And keeping a strong, healthy colony of trills is important for relieving such pesky problems as asthma, allergies and yes, research has hinted that autism may benefit by a diet high in pro-biotics, the scientific name for the trills.
The thing is, this colony keeps the immune system company. They talk to each other. They listen and respond to each other. So when the immune system gets OCD about something minor, the collective pro-biotic community gently slaps it upside the head and tells it to stop over-reacting. And the above mentioned maladies are just of few of the conditions helped by active cultures in our food. Chronic inflammation (without cause), IBS, and over 80 auto-immune diseases have been known to improve when the diet is augmented with pro-biotic rich food.
So can a little jar of Heirloom Tomato Compote be the answer to the world's health conditions? Not by itself, certainly, although it is an amazing way to add to the variety of pro-biotic intake. It is great on sandwiches or as a garnish on foods, although it is so good that I eat it straight out of the bottle.
Do yourself and your trills a favor. Stop by Cali's Natural Foods and get a jar or two. Long live the trills!
