Probiotic foods such as miso and kimchi are rich in bacteria that keep the gut and body healthy.
Key Points:
- Probiotic foods such as miso and kimchi are rich in bacteria that keep the gut and body healthy.
- A complementary food group known as prebiotics (mainly fibrous foods) serve as fuel for these bacteria to thrive.
- Lactic acid bacteria, such as Leuconostoc mesenteroides (L. mesenteroides), are used in the fermentation process of fermented foods such as kimchi, sauerkraut, and pickles.
- The researchers thus focused their study on the potential role of LmEPS as a prebiotic fiber.
