Or what happens when you eat that big Aloo tikki or chicken burger (fermented foods) equently? Our stomach starts to act funny, isn\u2019t it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Funny is just an underrated word; in fact, you may start to have many stomach-related problems, one of which is digestion. With people shifting towards junk food, it is time to address how to solve this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When your body cannot digest the food products, you may have digestion problems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One way through which you can enjoy some tasty, different, yet unique flavors is by eating fermented food. And, for your reference, they are the best to cure all your digestion issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fermentation <\/strong>is not new; people worldwide have been using this method to preserve and conserve food items. Our culture has been using the <strong>fermentation method for ages now<\/strong>, and we have an extensive list of food items that one can eat and enjoy. They may take time to be ready for consumption, but once fermentation is completed, you will have a bowl of nutrition ready on your table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, let\u2019s talk about everything about fermented foods in this article today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Do_You_Mean_By_Fermented_Foods\"><\/span><strong>What Do You Mean By Fermented Foods?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When Microorganisms such as bacteria or yeast convert carbohydrates like sugar and starch into acids or alcohol through a natural process is called fermentation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fermenting the food is a very old process that aids in boosting the shelf life and the nutritional value of the food item. It also gives the fermented product a natural tangy or zest flavor. In return, the probiotics within that product aid in digestion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, you cannot imagine keeping cabbage in your kitchen for months, but with the help of fermentation can store it for an extended period. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, you will also get <a href=\"https:\/\/happytummy.aashirvaad.com\/en\/healthy-eating\/top-sources-of-vitamin-b12-uses-benefits-of-vitamin-b12\/\">Vitamin B12<\/a> in fermented vegetables, which is not in plant food. <sup>[<\/sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/staying-healthy\/fermented-foods-can-add-depth-to-your-diet#:~:text=Fermented%20foods%20can%20bolster%20the,to%20keep%20them%20from%20leaking.\"><sup>1<\/sup><\/a><sup>]<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_Fermented_Food_Help_The_Body\"><\/span><strong>How Does Fermented Food Help The Body?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fermentation helps release yeasts or bacteria in the food item, thus helping in enhancing the probiotic properties. Your stomach and gut need these properties for healthy digestion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your gut is happy, you will have a happy tummy free of all the digestion problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides, it is perfect for your children. If you introduce fermented food items early, their bodies will build a better immune system, eventually preventing them from falling sick. <sup>[<\/sup><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/24780623\/\"><sup>2<\/sup><\/a><sup>]<\/sup> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is why our grandparents always insisted on having dahi during summer. <a href=\"https:\/\/happytummy.aashirvaad.com\/en\/healthy-eating\/health-benefits-of-curd-dahi\/\">Dahi or curd<\/a> is also a result of the fermentation of milk, and it helps in cooling your body during hot summer days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, if you remember your childhood, your dadi or nani would have always told you to eat homemade dahi whenever you had an upset stomach as it would give instant relief to all digestive problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_All_Fermented_Food_Items_Bring_The_Same_Value\"><\/span><strong>Do All Fermented Food Items Bring The Same Value?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If we say fermentation is good, it does not mean that every item that gets fermented will have the same nutritional value or do the same magic to our bodies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A certain kind of fermentation may be good in taste but not great for health. For instance, cheese is also a result of fermentation, but a cheese slice may not have the same health benefit as a cup of yogurt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yogurt will support your digestion, but the cheese will just add to the taste and flavors of your food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Different_Fermented_Food_Items_to_Try_Out\"><\/span><strong>Different Fermented Food Items to Try Out<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from the one that you have been eating your entire life and the one that we have already discussed, below are some more that you can try:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\">\n<li>Fermented vegetables include cabbage, cauliflower, celery, carrot, jalapeno, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kefir \u2013 Yogurt-based drink<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kimchi \u2013 Korean pickled vegetables<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fermented pickles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fermented fish<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sourdough bread<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Beer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Salami<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Idli<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dhokla<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cheese<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>These are just a few; you can find more per your taste preference.

The batter is later spread on turmeric leaf, steamed, and mainly consumed during winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Hawajjar\"><\/span>2. <strong>Hawajjar<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hawajjar, famous in Manipur, is made by fermenting soybean, an ingredient rich in protein. It requires around three to five days of fermentation, and the result is a sticky and flavorful dish high in protein. You can easily add it to your family\u2019s diet plan and make it shift to natural and healthy eating habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Gundruk\"><\/span>3. <strong>Gundruk<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a very easy and simple-to-make fermented dish that you can include as a side dish for dinner or lunch. However, it is from Nepal but is consumed highly in the North-Eastern states of India. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People use green-leafy vegetables such as radish leaves, mustard greens, cauliflower, or any other greens, pound them with little water, and squeeze and pack them in air-tight jars. It takes around a few days to ferment effectively. After fermentation, the leaves are taken out and sundried before use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gundruk is rich in calcium, sodium, and potassium, making it perfect for your family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Sel_Roti\"><\/span>4. <strong>Sel Roti<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a delicious ring-shaped roti prepared and eaten in Darjeeling and Sikkim. Locally grown rice is used in this dish that is left to be soaked in cold water overnight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next day, the soaked rice is pounded and mixed with wheat flour, butter, sugar, and other condiments such as clove, cardamom, and nutmeg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After adding everything, you will need to knead the dough and leave it for fermentation. Once fermented, let your kids enjoy rotis of different shapes and unique tastes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Ambali\"><\/span>5. <strong>Ambali<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A semi-liquid beverage popular in Southern Indian states such as Tamil Nadu. It is prepared using fermentation of <a href=\"https:\/\/happytummy.aashirvaad.com\/en\/healthy-eating\/ragifinger-millets-benefits-nutrition-uses-and-side-effects\/\">ragi<\/a> mixed with hot water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People consume this excellent dish during summer as the fermentation makes it cool in nature. You can even add chopped onions and green chilies as one of the versions of making Ambali.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Bottom_Line\"><\/span><strong>The Bottom Line<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fermentation is an excellent way of breaking down the carbs present in food and making it easier for people to digest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through this process, you will increase the nutritional value of your food item and preserve it for long. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, if you are bored of eating the same food and want to try it in a different and exciting flavor, ferment it and enjoy its tangy yet flavorful taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have yet to try fermented food, try anyone listed above or even use some raw vegetables; add oil and a few spices, ferment them as pickles for your everyday use, and <a href=\"https:\/\/happytummy.aashirvaad.com\/en\/healthy-eating\/nutritional-powerhouse-the-health-benefits-of-carrots\/\">carrots<\/a> are the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span><strong>FAQs<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1681376567116\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">1.
