I can say without a doubt that fermentation is now the trendiest of trends.
It is an ancient technique of preserving foods and drinks and was in use long before Albert T. Marshall patented the first refrigerator, which by the way was in 1899.
Nowadays, everyone does fermentation - or at least some form of it. Kimchi is one of the hottest foods of the year, everyone talks about booch (I mean kombucha if you're not familiar with the fermentation slang), and fermented hot sauced have been tasted by all and sundry.
Sauerkraut, cheese, and wine are all fermented products.
Foods that have been fermented a whole lot of beneficial probiotics. They are also associated with a range of health benefits - from healthy digestive function to stronger immunity.
But, come to think of it. What really makes fermentation so popular?
The truth is that, it is just so awesome. Fermentation is fascinating. It is something that is fun to do. And, best of all, it gives you very incredible flavors at the end of the day.
When you ferment your stuff, you get a little army of microorganisms (comprising yeast, bacteria, and in some cases, fungi) busy. These microorganisms get to work converting starch and natural sugars into acids and alcohol.
Fermentation preserves this stuff. However, it also changes their flavor to a somewhat strong, tangy, and slightly sour one. The distinctive flavors of yogurt, beer, sourdough, sauerkraut, vinegar, kombucha, and pickles come from fermentation.
