Guidelines for Consuming Fermented Foods
FAQ for Share®Original
The combination of carefully fermented fruits and selected herbs creates a unique taste experience.
Fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, pickled cucumbers, and onions have been a staple in many cultures for centuries, used to preserve food and enhance flavors. Through the fermentation process, their texture and taste change, as does their composition, which, for some people, can also have an effect on digestion.
It’s completely normal for the body to react differently to certain foods, and fermented foods are no exception. For example, some people may notice that after enjoying a generous portion of sauerkraut or kimchi, they need to visit the bathroom more frequently. Similarly, pickled onions or cucumbers might stimulate digestion depending on individual sensitivity. This is nothing to worry about! It's a natural response, much like what happens after drinking a strong cup of coffee or eating a fiber-rich meal.
If you don’t regularly eat fermented foods, it might be helpful to start with small portions and see how your body responds. Everyone is different—while some people may not notice any change after eating sauerkraut, others might experience a more noticeable effect. This can be especially true when fermented foods are combined with other digestion-friendly foods like whole grains or legumes.
A quick tip: If you’re adding fermented foods to your diet, make sure to drink enough water as it can help your body adjust more smoothly. And if a bathroom trip comes a little sooner than expected, don’t worry—it happens with fermented foods, just like it does after a big slice of watermelon or a strong cup of milky coffee!
