Fermented foods are nutritious and flavorful products created through the controlled fermentation process, where beneficial bacteria and yeast transform sugars and starches into acids and alcohol. This natural preservation method enhances the taste, texture, and nutritional profile of various foods, making them a valuable addition to any diet. Fermented foods are known for their probiotic content, which supports gut health and boosts the immune system. They can also contribute to improved digestion, increased nutrient absorption, and enhanced overall wellness. Regular consumption of fermented foods can help maintain a balanced microbiome, making them essential for promoting a healthy lifestyle.
