And in the US, you have to label a fermented food if it actually has live bacteria.

And if it does, then it's interchangeable with probiotic food.

Probiotic cottage cheese, yogurt, easiest thing to find in the U.S., kefir, which is another type of fermented yogurt, sauerkraut, kimchi, raw apple cider vinegar.

Those are all really great.

If you go to a health food store, they often have a refrigerated area with a few different types of vegetables that are fermented and probiotic.

But remember, pickled vegetables.

does not always mean that it's fermented or probiotic.

So when we buy pickles, like on the shelf, that unfortunately is not a fermented food.

Back in the day, all of our pickled food had to be fermented.

There was just no way to make pickled foods.

So that's why in every culture, any person you ask, from Africa to Asia to Europe, every single culture had fermented foods because that's how you preserve foods.

And it's so crazy that now we're looking at the science and we're like, no, we needed those foods.

We don't need to do that because we have freezers and refrigerators and microwaves and other ways to preserve things.

But that was the original healthy way to preserve things.

Yeah, like thousands of years ago, they didn't know they were eating fermented foods, because that's the only way they knew how to preserve things.

Yeah.

But now we know that that actually was so useful, like because all those bacteria that you were getting that was seeding your gut.

And we know now that we have like half the amount of bacteria that we need.

Like if you look at ancestors of the past, because of our diets.

You can be on any diet, any restrictions, any, you can be vegan, carnivore, paleo, doesn't require you to buy any special things or blenders or anything.
