How fermented food contributes to healthier eating habits

Those who regularly eat fermented food appear to eat healthier in general, according to research by Culinaire Ambiance. The study shows a link between the consumption of products such as quark, yogurt, and sauerkraut and a higher intake of plant-based food and less sugar.

The researchers cannot say with certainty whether eating fermented food causes the healthier eating pattern, or whether people with a healthy lifestyle more often choose fermented products. They do emphasize that fermented food is a good addition to a varied diet.

Fermented food is rich in probiotics, which can support gut flora. Culinaire Ambiance calls the research a reason to use fermented products more often in the kitchen.
