Let's talk fermentation! Since we've come a long way in terms of food preservation, why should we even care about fermentation anymore?

Fermented foods (from sauerkraut to kimchi, pickles and fizzy drinks like tepache or kombucha) are packed with probiotics — beneficial bacteria that are essential for a healthy gut and digestive system! 🍍

Did you know that 70% of your immune system actually sits in the gut? That's why maintaining the balance of the gut microbiome plays such a crucial role in overall health and, specifically, in regulating immune responses to prevent chronic inflammation, as well as supporting the digestion of complex carbohydrates, fibers, and certain proteins to prevent bloating and constipation.

So if you have any food sensitivities (like myself with cruciferous veggies or lactose in dairy/gluten in grains) fermentation makes these foods more tolerable and easier to digest, while at the same time keeping their full nutritional benefits.
