Category:Fermented foods

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fermented foods are foods produced or preserved by the action of microorganisms. In this context, fermentation typically refers to the fermentation of sugar to alcohol using yeast, but other fermentation processes include the making of yogurt. The science of fermentation is known as zymology.

Many pickled foods are fermented as part of the pickling process, but many are simply processed with brine or vinegar.
