Did you know that fermentation of food adds healthy probiotic bacteria in our body system that helps in making digestion easy?

Fermented foods are known to be rich in live bacteria which help in improved absorption of Vitamin B12 and other nutrients. This in turn helps us in weight loss while making our body metabolism better.

During the fermentation of eatables, enzymes and nutrients are preserved. Due to this, bacteria effectively break down the food and nutritional levels show a marginal increase.
