The Health Benefits of Fermented Foods

Stanford researchers found that eating a diet high in fermented foods increases the diversity of gut microbes, which is associated with improved health and decreased signs of inflammation.

Popular fermented foods:

  • Kimchi (vegetables)
  • Kombucha (tea beverage)
  • Pickled vegetables (carrots, cucumbers, onions, etc.)
  • Yogurt (milk)
  • Sauerkraut (cabbage)
  • Kefir (milk beverage)
  • Tempeh (boiled soybeans)
  • Miso (soybean paste)
  • Sourdough (bread)

What exactly is fermentation?
It’s a natural process where carbohydrates are converted into alcohol or organic acids using yeast or bacteria.
