What Are Fermented Foods?

People have been fermenting foods for thousands of years. Fermentation is nothing new. And all cultures have their own specialties and recipes that they are known for.

Fermented foods are full of bacteria. Wait, what?! I know, we tend to look at bacteria as a bad thing. But not all bacteria are bad!

Fermented foods are full of good bacteria. Kind of like the bacteria we get when we take probiotic supplements, but better!

Benefits of Fermented Foods

Our gut NEEDS bacteria to function properly. Also the bacteria in fermented foods helps us to digest our foods, absorb the nutrients in our foods, as well as help to strengthen the immune system.

So fermented foods are not only helpful, but necessary for a healthy life!

Food Preservation

Growing and preserving your own food is something that everyone should learn how to do. It is not only a great way to stock your pantry with healthy foods, but a great way to be prepared for hard times.

Living in southwest Florida, we get lots of hurricanes. The last major hurricane that we went through (or should I say that went through us!) was hurricane Irma. We were without power for ten days! That experience inspired me to share the 11 main ways to be self sufficient.

And yes, preserving your own food is on that list!
