Summer is over and out of all preservation methods I chose fermentation. It's a small addition to take care of the people around.
Fermented foods is not only a trend and fashion. There are lots of studies that proved health benefits and longevity effect of the product.
I can go for long read. But just a summery of fermentation benefits
Improved Digestion:
The process of fermentation breaks down complex carbohydrates, making foods easier to digest and improving nutrient absorption. Probiotics also help balance gut bacteria, which supports a healthy intestinal barrier.
Enhanced Immune Function:
The "good" bacteria in fermented foods (probiotics) help crowd out harmful microbes and can strengthen the immune system, which is largely located in the digestive tract.
Reduced Inflammation:
Consuming fermented foods may help reduce chronic inflammation, contributing to overall health.
Boosted Nutrient Content:
Fermentation can increase the levels of certain vitamins, such as B vitamins and vitamin K. It also helps produce beneficial metabolites and can reduce levels of anti-nutrients that hinder mineral absorption.
Support for Heart and Bone Health:
Some fermented foods have been linked to better heart health markers like blood pressure. Additionally, the vitamins and beneficial microbes in fermented foods can play a role in maintaining bone health.
Weight Management:
By improving nutrient digestion and absorption and reducing inflammation, fermented foods can contribute to maintaining a healthy body weight.
Restoration of Gut Health:
After antibiotic use, which can disrupt gut bacteria, fermented foods can help restore beneficial gut flora.
Anyways, we made fermented cabbage, eggplants, cucumbers, tomatoes, spicy cabbage today for Kozwecare. And more to come over the cold season
