Fermented beverages are drinks created through the process of fermentation, where yeast and bacteria convert sugars into alcohol or acids. Common examples include kombucha, a fizzy tea made with scoby, and kefir, a tangy drink made from fermented milk. These beverages not only offer unique flavors but also contain probiotics, which can be beneficial for gut health. Many cultures around the world have their own traditional fermented drinks. For instance, sake is a Japanese rice wine, while tepache is a sweet, fermented drink made from pineapple in Mexico. These beverages reflect the rich history and diversity of fermentation practices globally.
