Want to make the foods you already eat even better? Want to enhance immunity and increase digestion? Fermentation, the same practice that gives yogurt its tartness and bread its rise, is the answer.  The process of lactic-acid fermentation actually increases vitamins, enzymes and beneficial bacteria naturally present in all foods – improving flavor, enhancing digestion and boosting immunity.  It’s a simple and easy solution that greatly improves the nutritive value of the foods we all consume.

Fermented foods are healing foods, and they’re traditional foods.

If you’re serious about helping to heal your gut with healthy, beneficial bacteria, you can’t do better than introducing fermented and live-cultured foods into your diet.

No, you don’t have to spend loads of time in the kitchen; most fermented foods can be prepared with very little effort – saving you money and time while actually increasing the nutrients you get from every single bite.  Imagine preparing french fries and ketchup that your kids love and that actually improves their health by reducing sugar, increasing vitamins and providing the beneficial bacteria they need for optimal immunity, digestion and gut health.

why you need more fermented foods

Did you know that fermentation increases the vitamins naturally present in the food you eat?  Or that bread leavened through sourdough fermentation is richer in folate than regular whole wheat bread?  Or that many fermented foods are rich in vitamin K2 – a known cancer fighter?  Fermented foods are essential to health – and lacking in most modern diets.  The simple act of fermentation increases the vitamins and food enzymes found in dairy products, grains, legumes, vegetables and fruits – increasing both nourishment and flavor.  Fermented foods are also rich in probiotics – beneficial bacteria that build immunity, improve digestion and keep you healthy.   Fermentation also decreases the sugar content of foods which is great for those watching their carbohydrate intake.

nervous? confused? worried about safety?

If you’re like most of us, you might be nervous about the idea of preparing fermented foods at home.  You might be wondering how do you keep ferments safe or if you can prepare fermented foods without expensive ingredients and equipment.  You might wonder how you can make fermented foods your kids will actually enjoy.
