Lacto-fermentation is an ancient preservation technique that creates nutrient-rich, probiotic foods through the action of beneficial bacteria. This natural process not only extends shelf life but also enhances the nutritional profile of foods by creating beneficial enzymes, B-vitamins, and various strains of probiotics. These recipes focus on creating everything from classic sauerkraut and kimchi to innovative fermented vegetables and beverages, all supporting digestive health, immune function, and overall wellness. The process is simple, cost-effective, and yields foods that are both delicious and therapeutic.
