Fermented beverages

Fermented beverages are drinks produced through the natural process of fermentation, where microorganisms like yeast and bacteria convert sugars into alcohol, acids, and gases. This process not only creates alcohol but also enhances flavors and can introduce beneficial probiotics. Examples include beer, wine, cider, kombucha, and traditional drinks like kefir. Fermentation can improve the beverage’s nutritional profile, preserve it longer, and develop complex tastes. These drinks have been enjoyed across cultures for centuries, combining science and tradition to create diverse, flavorful options.
