The Science of Fermentation and its Impact on Food
Fermentation is a process of transformation driven by bacteria and yeasts, resulting in the creation of probiotics. This transformation unlocks nutrition, known as prebiotics, which are the food for the microbes inside us. The microbes release beneficial chemicals, called postbiotics, that can have positive effects on the body. Fermented foods like sauerkraut and kimchi are considered superfoods due to their rich content of probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics.
