Importance of Fermented Foods for Gut Health
Johnny Drain, author of Adventures in Fermentation, highlights the benefits of incorporating fermented foods into daily routines.
Fermentation occurs when microbes, such as bacteria, yeast, or mold, break down food carbohydrates, resulting in new compounds. Examples include yogurt, where bacteria convert milk sugar into lactic acid, and bread, where yeast ferments dough sugar into carbon dioxide.
The current gut health boom has sparked interest in fermented foods, with many influencers sharing their experiences with pickles, cabbage, and carrots.
Think of yogurt, or bread, where fermentation occurs through microbial breakdown of carbohydrates.
