fermentation has changed.
Global demand for fermented food and beverages has been growing at 5-7% annually, a trend that is not going away any time soon. Increased public awareness of the importance of the microbiome for bodily and mental health, the growing limitations of an industrialised food system, awareness of more natural ways of preserving and transforming otherwise waste products into valuable food products are all factors driving the trend.
-and then of course there is taste.
Fermentation creates flavours and textures that humans love.
