- The food is cooked under extreme heat and pasteurized, killing off any friendly bacteria and losing its nutritional value.
What fermentation process does Grimm’s Fine Foods use?
- Lacto-fermentation. Lactobacillus bacteria go to work on the sugars present in the food, and convert them to lactic acid.
- This process acts a natural preservative, stopping harmful bacteria from multiplying, allowing beneficial probiotic bacteria to thrive.
- It also makes the pickles, sauerkraut and kimchi taste delicious!
Why should you keep naturally fermented foods in the refrigerator?
- Grimm’s Naturally Fermented Foods use traditional methods, and so contain live cultures.
- This not only means that they taste great and are healthy for your gut, but also that the fermentation process is still happening.
- Storing them in a refrigerator slows this process, making sure they retain the flavour that Grimm’s is famous for.
