Ferments & Sours

Fermented foods are pre-digested by beneficial bacteria, making nutrients more bioavailable and introducing probiotics that support gut health. Sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir, kombucha, miso, and naturally fermented pickles should be part of every meal. A tablespoon of ferment at the start of a meal primes digestion. Sour flavors from vinegars and lacto-ferments stimulate digestive juices and help break down proteins and fats more efficiently.
