Fermentation is an ancient preservation technique that transforms food through the action of microorganisms like bacteria, yeast, and molds. This process not only extends the shelf life of food but also enhances its flavor and nutritional profile. Common fermented foods include yogurt, kimchi, sauerkraut, and kombucha. The beneficial bacteria produced during fermentation can improve gut health and boost the immune system. Historically, cultures around the world have relied on fermentation to preserve seasonal produce and make food more palatable. Today, the popularity of fermented foods is on the rise as people recognize their health benefits and unique flavors.
