Fermented Foods

    There are various kinds of food around us. Among them, miso, soy sauce, cheese, yogurt, etc. are classified in the same category, and these are called fermented foods. I will introduce fermented foods from now on.
    Fermented foods are foods whose taste and nutritional value are enhanced by the action of microorganisms. The function of microorganisms can be divided into two types: putrefaction, which is harmful to humans, and fermentation, which is beneficial to humans. Among them, fermented foods have many positive effects on humans. The world's first fermented food was made around 5,000 BC, and it is said that yogurt was accidentally made from milk. The oldest record of fermented foods in Japan is salted melon in the Nara period, but it is believed that fermented foods already existed in the Jomon and Yayoi periods.

It is said that there is.
    Next, we will introduce wine, vinegar, and black tea as familiar fermented foods.
First, I will write about wine. Wines loved all over the world are made by adding wine yeast to the raw grapes. In particular, red wine contains a lot of polyphenols because it uses the whole grape skin. Polyphenols have antioxidant effects and the effect of detoxifying harmful substances such as active oxygen. Next, I will write about vinegar. Vinegar is made by adding acetic acid bacteria to sake. There are various types such as rice vinegar, black vinegar, apple cider vinegar, and wine vinegar, depending on the ingredients used. Finally, I would like to introduce you to black tea. Black tea is a world-famous tea. It is made by oxidatively fermenting tea leaves and is classified as fermented tea. It has a reddish brown color and is popular as a fragrant tea. In addition to the foods introduced above, there are various types of fermented foods such as natto, kimchi, and prosciutto.
    Fermented foods are very familiar and are deeply involved in our diet. In addition, various health effects are expected. Please try to eat fermented foods positively.
