What are fermented foods? What does "fermented" mean?
Fermentation is an old technique of preserving food known to our ancestors. Fermented foods are popular worldwide, almost in every culture. Fermentation is a natural proccess during which microorganisms (such as yeast) and bacteria convert carbs (for example, starch and sugar) into alcohol or acids. It is used to produce foods such as yogurt, kombucha, wine, cheese, sauerkraut, and many others.
Why is it beneficial to consume fermented foods and fermented supplements regularly? Fermented foods are rich in many probiotics. They are associated with a range of different health benefits: better digestion, stronger immunity, lower risk of heart disease, weight loss and even reduction in symptoms of anxiety and depression. Fermentation helps break down nutrients in food. They are easier to digest than their unfermented counterparts - which is great news for people with various food intolerances. Not to mention, fermented foods add tang and zest to your meals - they open new ways to experiment with new tastes and flavors.
