Aegopodium 🌿 with ginger 🌱 root - we prepare fermented 🍹 juice.
People have been fermenting plants for years before they realized there was a science to it and that live microorganisms play a vital role in changing the properties of foods, preventing spoilage, and keeping them fresh. Fermentation is a chemical process in which yeast and/or bacteria transform foods, usually changing their flavor.
Fermentation lowers the pH of foods, creating an unfavorable environment for pathogens to grow, which protects the food and keeps it fresh longer.
The fermentation process can be called "pre-digestion," so the fiber and nutrients in fermented juices have already been broken down. This makes them more easily digestible, reducing the risk of digestive upset.
Fermentation increases the content of vitamins B and C, and breaks down lectins, oxalates, goitrogens, and phytoestrogens (called "antinutrients"), which can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals.
