Research Summary
Fermented foods are foods and beverages produced through controlled microbial growth and the enzymatic conversion of food components by bacteria, yeasts, or fungi. This process transforms raw ingredients into nutrient-dense ecosystems teeming with live microorganisms and bioactive compounds. Common examples include:
- yogurt
- kefir
- kimchi
- sauerkraut
- kombucha
- miso
- tempeh
- sourdough bread
Unlike processed foods, traditional fermented products are "living foods" that contain unique metabolites not found in their raw counterparts.
