A well-functioning digestive system is extremely important to your overall well-being.

Kombucha Bacteria, yeast and sugar are added to tea and fermented to make this fizzy drink. It can taste sweet or tart.
Sauerkraut Sauerkraut is made from ‘pickled’ cabbage, ie bacteria have fermented the sugar in the vegetable.
Natto Pungent, gooey and stringy, nattō is a Japanese food made from fermented soybeans and often eaten as a breakfast food.
Miso This Japanese staple is made from fermented soybeans. The thick paste adds sweetness and saltiness to soups, dressings and seasonings.
Yoghurt Most yoghurt contains bacteria called lactobacillus bulgaricus and streptococcus thermophilus which are added to milk and fermented.
Cultured buttermilk The cultured buttermilk you buy in shops is made from cow’s milk which has good bacteria added to it, creating a tangy taste and thicker consistency. Cooking at high temperatures, however, will kill the good bacteria. This drink is like tangy, runny yoghurt and is prepared using milk, kefir bacteria and yeast.
