Fermented foods are foods that use "good" bacteria to break down some component of the plant. These foods are rich in probiotics naturally. You can make any of these at home, but may need to spend a little more time to buy the right products at the grocery store. I purchase many of these items through Azure Standard https://www.azurestandard.com/?a_aid=ce5ee4cb67
Fermented pickle/veggie kraut mix
Rather than adding in probiotic pills or doing crazy elimination diets, I like to start with the basics. Use acupuncture and dietary modifications to strengthen the digestive system. Fermented foods are a quick, easy and cheap way to do that. You can buy many of these products in the store, or make your own!
Sourdough scones from Bella's Tea Party
Sauerkraut is fermented cabbage, buy in the refrigerated section of the grocery store, as canned shelf stable kraut doesn't have any probiotics left. I love WildBrine kraut from Azure.
Refrigerated pickles, again from the refrigerated section of the grocery store, or make your own with brine, no vinegar
Kombucha is a fermented tea, often having a sour taste, just watch the sugar content.
Greek yogurt (unsweetened) or any organic yogurt product with live active cultures, but watch the sugar content.
Sourdough (bread, muffins, cookies, waffles etc) products have naturally less gluten, which often helps those with gluten intolerances.
Kimchi is a spicy condiment common in Asian cooking, with spicy cabbage and fish sauce
Kefir is a fermented drink, either with dairy or water.
Miso is commonly used in soup
Tempeh is a type of fermented soy
Kvass is fermented beet juice, should have no added sugar and is bubbly like a seltzer water, my favorite is from Biotic Ferments from Azure
I use Azure's monthly pickup locally in Port Huron at Donna's Storage to buy a lot of my fermented food products, so I know they are non GMO, mostly organic and its super convenient. https://www.azurestandard.com/?a_aid=ce5ee4cb67
