The Benefits of Lacto-Fermented Foods

Lacto-fermented foods provide numerous health benefits, primarily by improving gut health. The fermentation process enhances the nutritional profile of foods, increasing their bioavailability and making them easier to digest. For instance, a simple method of transforming cabbage into sauerkraut utilizes natural bacteria present on the vegetable, which contributes to lactic acid production. This not only preserves the food but also introduces beneficial probiotics that can improve digestive health and overall well-being.
