FERMENTS

a healthy dose of culture

For centuries, fermented foods have played an important role in traditional diets the world over, both as a method of preserving food throughout the leaner months, and for their many nutritional benefits. Fermented foods such as Kimchi and Sauerkraut are rich in beneficial probiotic bacteria and yeasts, which can help support digestive processes, improve resistance to allergies, boost immunity, enhance metabolism and manage sugar cravings. The best part — aside from how very tasty fermented foods can be! — is that they are very easy and inexpensive to prepare at home.
