Fermented Food

🥛 1. Yogurt

  • Made by bacteria fermenting milk.

  • Good source of probiotics for gut health.

  • Also high in calcium and protein.


🥬 2. Kimchi

  • Spicy fermented Korean cabbage (and sometimes other veggies).

  • Packed with probiotics, vitamins A and C, and fiber.


🥬 3. Sauerkraut

  • Fermented cabbage (like kimchi, but usually not spicy).

  • High in fiber, vitamins, and healthy bacteria.


🧀 4. Some Cheeses (like Gouda, Swiss, Cheddar)

  • Aged cheeses have beneficial bacteria.

  • Good for gut health if unpasteurized after aging.


🍞 5. Sourdough Bread

  • Made by wild yeast and bacteria fermenting the dough.

  • Easier to digest than regular bread.

  • May be better for blood sugar control.


🍵 6. Kombucha

  • Fermented sweet tea made by yeast and bacteria.

  • Slightly fizzy, with some probiotics.

  • Drink in moderation (because it can be high in sugar).


🫘 7. Miso

  • A salty paste made from fermented soybeans (used in miso soup).

  • Rich in probiotics, protein, and vitamins.


🌱 8. Tempeh

  • Fermented soybeans pressed into a cake.

  • High in protein, fiber, and vitamins.

  • Great plant-based protein!


Simple Tip:
→ To get the probiotic benefits, choose unpasteurized or live culture versions because heat can kill the good bacteria.
