GoodBugs

GoodBugs Award Winning producers of Fermented Foods in NZ. All our ferments are made in small batches, from local spray free produce.

Our products are traditionally fermented with salt using the natural yeasts and bacteria. Fermenting foods is a practice as old as humans themselves. Before modern food production every household would practice fermentation as a way of preserving the harvest and keeping food over non-productive winter months. All over the world traditional cultures innately knew how to improve food with the use of invisible microbes. Science is only just catching up with the innate wisdom of our ancestors. Marea first shared her passion for growing nutrient dense food, making great ferments and nourishing our families to health and wellness, through teaching others. Now you can also buy our GoodBugs online, at local markets or at selected stockists. Goodbugs a name which tells a huge story. Our microbiome contains more bacteria than all of our human cells. A harmonious balance between the different types of bacteria in our microbiome will determine the state of our health. Until recently, the roles of these 'billions of little helpers' that make up our microbiome was a vital, but underrated contributor to human health. Each jar of Goodbugs Zuurkool real sauerkraut is raw (unpasteurised) and alive with these life giving probiotics.

Have you tried our Sauerkraut Juice?

GoodBugs Sauerkraut Juice is a byproduct of sauerkraut production and has been used for thousands of years by itself as a daily tonic (or hangover cure ๐Ÿ˜†)

It can be used in the place of lemon juice or vinegar, used as a starter culture for other lacto ferments or to add a probiotic boost to any meal.

14/01/2026

Weโ€™ve taken our punchy Kiss Me Kimchi and freeze-dried it into lightweight, intensely flavoured sprinkles and flakes you can take anywhere. Itโ€™s kimchi โ€” but crunchier, sassier, and shelf-stable.

Sprinkle it on avo toast, noodles, salads, eggs, popcornโ€ฆ honestly, everything. Get a probiotic kick and a whole lotta flavour with zero faff.

โœจ Big flavour. Big crunch. Big kimchi energy. Buy online today!

.kitchen_ has whipped up this DELICIOUS looking Chicken and Kale Summer Salad ๐ŸŒž

Best thing about this salad is you can use the chicken and kale as a base, throw in what youโ€™ve got on hand and pull it all together with some mayo.

What youโ€™ll need:
- Chicken tenders, fried and chopped into small chunks
- 1 zucchini, sliced and slowly fried with the chicken
- 1 bag kale, chopped
- 1/2 cucumber, chopped into quarters
- 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 3 sprigs spring onion, sliced
- 1 handful parsley, chopped
- Drizzle of olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Mayo to taste (more or less based on preference), I used and really rate .nz
- Pumpkin and sunflower seeds to top
- Sauerkraut

In a large bowl, add your chopped kale, olive oil and lemon juice. Massage the oil and lemon into the kale with your hands, this breaks it down and makes it a whole lot nicer to eat. Season with salt and pepper.

Add your other veggies and chicken in and mix well. Add mayo to your preference and mix until all combined. Taste and add salt, pepper, lemon and oil as needed until youโ€™re happy with it.

Serve with seeds and sauerkraut. Throw some avo in for good measure.
