It's a good idea to add a variety of fermented foods to your diet, as they contain probiotics that help you have a healthy gut flora—essential for good health—and make your digestion much better.
Here are some ways to add fermented foods to your diet, beyond yogurts with bifidus.
Sauerkraut on your veggie burger: I'm not a fan of ultra-processed veggie burgers, but I do love homemade ones. When you're making your burger, don't forget to add sauerkraut for a delicious contrast in flavor and texture.
White miso on whole wheat pasta: White miso has a slightly sweet flavor and a creamy texture. At home, we eat it with pasta. You only need whole wheat pasta, a tablespoon of white miso, olive oil, salt, and pepper; add some spinach sautéed with garlic and toasted pine nuts, and you have a quick, healthy, and delicious dinner.
Miso Soup: When making soup, you can leave it lightly salted, and add a tablespoon of miso once you're serving it. Stir until completely dissolved and enjoy. Remember to add the miso at the very last minute and don't boil it so it doesn't lose its properties.
Stir-fry + Kimchi: A stir-fry of vegetables and tofu is easy to make and tasty, even more so if you add Korean kimchi to give it a spicy kick once served.
Pickles with your sandwich: If you enjoy sandwiches, you'll love them even more with pickled gherkins—not vinegared, but pickled in a fermented culture. It's a classic American sandwich combination.
Semi-pickled red onions in your salad: Making delicious salads at home is easy as long as you have interesting ingredients on hand. Semi-pickled red onions—with unpasteurized apple cider vinegar, olive oil, salt, and spices—are especially delicious and versatile.
I'd love to know how you incorporate fermented foods into your diet, and which one is your favorite.
