From Kraut to Koji: Fermented Foods You Can Find at the Farmers Market
If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to nourish yourself with good, delicious food, it’s time to explore the wild world of fermented foods. Fermented foods have received a lot attention lately for supporting our microbiome and gut health, though people have been fermenting foods for thousands of years.

Sauerkraut might first come to mind, but there are many other ferments out there, including some you may already eating. Curious about fermented foods and how to incorporate them into your meals? Let’s take a deep dive into the world of fermentation and its various manifestations.
