Fermented Food is Miracle Fuel

For centuries, fermented foods have been part of traditional diets around the world, and for good reason. It turns out, the foods our ancestors chose for convenience actually have incredible health-promoting power we can all benefit from today.

Fermented foods are nature’s probiotics. The process of fermentation is carried out by a host of good bacteria and yeasts responsible not only for the distinctive flavor of ferments but many of their health benefits as well. When you eat fermented food, you’re ingesting a potent probiotic that science suggests will do more for your well-being than any encapsulated pill you find at the store. 

Probiotics from ferments travel to the colon, the lower part of your digestive tract, where they promote diversity within your microbiome. A strong, diverse microbiome is critical to health and longevity, influencing everything from digestion and inflammation to cancer prevention. Caring for your microbiome is among the most important steps you can take to protect your long-term health.

A high-fibre, plant-rich diet is one key to a diverse microbiome. But if you’re ready to take it to the next level, fermented foods are the critical ingredient studied for a robust microbiome and thus long-lasting well-being. It may sound too good to be true, but science backs it up with study after study supporting the potential of ferments to prevent disease and promote longevity.

I wrote Plant-based Ferments to provide you with the information you need to get these foods into your daily diet right away. By using the information and recipes in this book, you’ll have the knowledge to know why and how to add fermented foods to your menu. This is information we can all benefit from. I hope you’ll download this book and experience the delicious, health-promoting power of fermented foods for yourself. Enjoy!

Fermentation is one of the rare examples of food processing that actually makes our food even more healthy. When you think of fermentation, think of transformation! We’re breeding new microbes, transforming fiber, and generating bioactive peptides and polyphenols.

Research from Stanford University shows that by simply consuming more fermented food on a regular daily basis, we can increase the diversity of our gut microbiome, which is a measure of health for our gut. Super-powered plant foods that pack flavor and healing abilities in one — what more could you ask for?

Whether you’re a ferment fanatic or just starting out, Simon’s Plant-Based Ferments guide will delight your microbes just as much as your taste buds. The recipes are incredible. A little every day goes a long way!
