Fermentation is a metabolic process in which microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast, or molds convert sugars and starches into alcohol or organic acids under anaerobic conditions (absence of oxygen). This natural process not only preserves food but also enhances its flavor, texture, and nutritional value.

Fermentation is a key process in creating probiotic-rich foods that support gut health and overall well-being. Incorporating fermented foods into your diet can lead to a healthier gut microbiome and improved digestion.
