A Simple and Delicious Probiotic Treat Of Fermented Vegetables Deeply flavorful and wonderfully sour, fermented vegetables are deceptively easy to make at home. For most, you only need vegetables, salt, and plenty of time. The process itself preserves these foods, and it also enhances their nutrition, too. Lactic acid-producing bacteria metabolize the carbohydrates in cabbage, carrots, and other vegetables, and as they do, they produce beneficial acids that preserve the vegetables. Even more, in the process, they also increase various micronutrients - especially B vitamins such as folate. Fruits and vegetables typically have beneficial bacteria Lactobacillus on their surface. Often when we think about bacteria we think of it in a negative way, but not all bacteria are bad. When placed in an oxygen-free environment, Lactobacillus turns sugars into lactic acid. In turn, this lactic acid prevents the growth of harmful bacteria, acting as a preservative for the veggies, and giving fermented foods their tangy flavor.
