Fermentation: A natural process that transforms food and life

Thanks to fermentation, we can have food at home or in shops that would otherwise spoil quickly. In addition, fermented foods often contain probiotics – live microorganisms that support gut health and the immune system. Some of the best-known fermented foods include yoghurt, sauerkraut, kimchi, miso, kefir, tempeh and kombucha.

Fermentation is not only a method of preservation, but also a way to discover new flavours and textures. The process can take from a few hours to several weeks or months, depending on the type of food and the desired result.

This method of food preparation is widespread throughout the world, and every culture has its own traditional fermented dishes. Whether it's Korean kimchi, Japanese miso, European sauerkraut, African injera or South American chicha, fermentation always represents a combination of tradition, taste and health.

Try fermentation at home! Start with something simple, such as fermented cabbage or yoghurt. Not only will you discover new flavours, but you will also support your health in a natural way.
