Fermented Foods
Fermented foods are produced through controlled microbial fermentation, including kimchi, sauerkraut, kefir, yogurt, tempeh, miso, and kombucha. NO GRADED OUTCOMES in this database but growing research supports gut health benefits. Fermentation creates probiotics (live beneficial bacteria), increases bioavailability of nutrients, and produces beneficial metabolites (short-chain fatty acids, vitamins). May reduce inflammation, improve gut microbiome diversity, and support immune function. Not all fermented foods contain live cultures (e.g., beer, bread) - look for unpasteurized products with live cultures.
