Fermentation is one of the oldest and most straightforward methods of food preparation. Enzymes produced by microorganisms like bacteria, yeasts, and mold, have long been used by humans to produce food that is both delicious and nutritious. Commonly eaten foods produced through fermentation include bread, dairy products, sauerkraut, and kimchi.

In this online event, we learned about fermentation in different parts of the world. Check out the recording and learn about what fermented foods do to the body and get familiar with different recipes from around the world.
