Lost Art Cultured Foods
About
Lost Art Cultured Foods is a small food business making traditional fermented vegetables that are raw, probiotic and gluten free. Its handmade sauerkrauts and fermented veggies contain only vegetables, sea salt and spices, with no preservatives, added sugar, water or vinegar, and they are never heated or pasteurized, so the live cultures stay intact. The lineup includes Caraway Sauerkraut, Earthy Beets, Kraut-Chi and a Chipotle Pikliz.
The business began with a single mother’s dream of building a better life for herself and her daughter while sharing her love of fermented foods and culinary traditions. Today it is 100 percent female- and Black-owned. Production is based in Charlestown, and each batch is made with organic produce, sourced from New England farms whenever possible to keep quality fresh and support other small businesses in the community.
