Our gut is home to trillions of bacteria that play a crucial role in digestion, immune health, and even brain function. Fermented foods provide a natural source of beneficial probiotics, which help maintain a balanced gut microbiome. These foods undergo a process in which natural bacteria, yeasts, or molds break down carbohydrates, producing beneficial compounds like organic acids, enzymes, and probiotics. Fermented foods can be delicious and satisfying!
