Beware of Faux Ferments
Skepticism is essential when choosing kombucha and other fermented products, as many options on the market are filled with artificial ingredients, sugar, and are pasteurized, diminishing their health benefits. If a product is unusually cheap, it’s likely not authentic, given that genuine fermented foods have a limited shelf life. Look for signs of quality, such as live active cultures or specific microbes listed on the label. For items like sauerkraut or pickles, true fermentation requires only vegetables, water, and salt, not vinegar, which indicates a lack of genuine fermentation. Cultivating a healthier microbiome takes time and careful choices regarding fermented foods.
