The importance of gut microbiota for Fermentierra
It has always been said that our diet is our primary medicine, since it is from our food that we derive a large part of our energy and nutrients.
As naturally curious eaters, the Fermentierra team finds it unimaginable to understand how we have come to such a poor diet in our industrial societies and, above all, to see how most people have become less and less curious about trying everything that our cultural food heritage has to offer.
They also believe that the chronic diseases that are ravaging us are linked to this disconnection from our relationship with food, its transformation, and its ingestion. The gut microbiota is important to Fermentierra, because everything starts in the gut. What interests them is all the ancestral culinary knowledge that, naturally, without a microscope, was intimately related to the needs of our bodies.
