Supplement
Fermented foods are foods like yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi and miso, made when bacteria or yeasts break down sugars, and many carry live microbes that pass through the gut. People mostly look at them for digestion and gut health, but little research on them has been reviewed here so far. Because of that, it is too early to say how they compare with other foods or what benefits to expect.
