    I drink kefir. I like plain lowfat yogurt.
    Most pickles are pasteurized. Have two jars of homemade pickles and they are fantastic.
    I like kraut and pickles. I save any pickle juice. My stomach likes it. I liked kimchi before acid reflux started.

      Alcohol is fermented.

      Miso, tempeh, natto, olives.

        Cheese, yoghurt, wine, kombucha, sauerkraut to name a few.

          I think technically alcohol is a byproduct of fermentation.

          Distilled spirits wouldn't count, and commercial beer products are probably pasteurized so the good stuff gets killed along with any unwanted microbes.

            You can use whey from strained plain yogurt to kick start fermented veggies in a mason jar. I’ve done it with shredded carrots and cabbage. Add salt and some spices and a pickling weight, get a lid that lets the gas escape and leave it on the counter for a few days til it gets fizzy, then put it in the fridge. Eat a couple of spoonfuls with a meal.

              I’ve never heard of a pickling weight.

              Now I want one. 😳

                  My wife drinks kombucha every day. I like it too, but it’s not an everyday thing for me.

                  I use miso and soy sauce in cooking often. Kimchi now and then. They all seem to be very good for the digestion, for the gut.

                  And sourdough bread.

                  I used to make beer. It was delicious but messy and a lot of work and specialized equipment. That was 20 years ago when good beer was hard to find. Now you can get great beer everywhere.

                    "Yogurt works, but plain yogurt tastes awful without a whole lot of sugar which seems to defeat the purpose. I’ve never tried kefir or kombucha -what do you do with it? What else is there?"

                    I only eat yogurt plain and unsweetened. Maybe try some different brands? They aren't all alike. Costco sells Bellewether plain yogurt and I think it is especially yummy.

                    Kefir is just liquid yogurt. I drink straight kombucha only rarely. I usually put the ginger-lemon kombucha from Costco in my pomegranate lemonade to zing it up a bit.

                    Costco also has dried apricots with probiotics in them now. Mr Pique bought it and they are good!

                    I loves me a good dill pickle, but other than that I don't go in much for fermented foods except in very small doses.

                        I only buy plain yogurt, the amount of sugar in flavored yogurts is awful. Brown Cow brand is my favorite, comes with a layer of cream across the top. Lots of water leaches out of it though, once the cream layer has been broken. I mix in a few teaspoons of orange marmalade or strawberry jam or top it with maple syrup. I know that adds sugar but at least I can control it.

                          How about Avocado Yogurt Toast?

                          Avocado Yogurt Toast

                          Give your avocado toast a protein boost with this clever twist.

                          Spread Greek yogurt on whole grain toast, then top with mashed avocado, a squeeze of lemon, and a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning.

                          This toast combines the creaminess of avocado with the tanginess of yogurt for a satisfying breakfast.

                          It’s packed with healthy fats, protein, and fiber to keep you full all morning.
