The fementing process transforms sugars and starches enhances the natural, beneficial bacteria in food. These bacteria, known as probiotics or \u2018good\u2019 bacteria<\/p>

Fermenting food started as a way of preserving food, this process encouraged the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast or fungi which converts organic compounds like sugars and starch into alcohol or acids.<\/p>

Not all fermented foods contain live organisms.<\/p>

Beer and wine are fermented but remove the organisms yeasts.<\/p>

Sourdough bread is fermented dough but inactivated by baking process as the heat kills them.<\/p>

Beaware that in off the shelf foods like sauerkraut and kimchi can be heat-treated and that process will render the organisms inactive. So always look for \u201cnaturally fermented\u201d.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
