The Art of Fermentation and More... (4)

Fermentation is a natural process where microorganisms like bacteria, yeast, or fungi convert organic compounds, primarily carbohydrates such as sugars and starches, into alcohol or acids. This process not only preserves food but also enhances its nutritional value, flavor, and digestibility. Fermentation is responsible for creating a variety of foods and beverages, including yogurt, sauerkraut, kimchi, kombucha, beer, and wine. It promotes gut health by introducing beneficial probiotics, which support a healthy digestive system and boost the immune system.
