Benefits of naturally fermented foods
Farmented with Love™ for Flavor and Health!
Our probiotic salad dressings are uniquely delicious and naturally fermented using the lacto-fermentation process to stimulate the growth of beneficial microorganisms to help increase your good gut bacteria.
Lacto-fermentation is the process where bacteria break down sugars in foods and form lactic acid. Lacto-fermented foods include yogurt, sauerkraut, kimchi, and pickles among many others. The process produces beneficial probiotics.
Probiotics as part of a daily diet can help boost immunity, improve your digestion, build bone density, fight allergies, kill candida and improve your nutrient absorption.
Naturally fermented foods "... are preserved using an age-old process that not only boosts the food’s shelf life and nutritional value, but can give your body a dose of healthy probiotics, which are live microorganisms crucial to healthy digestion," says Dr. David S. Ludwig, a professor of nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health.
