About Fermented rice

Fermented rice is a traditional staple in various cuisines, particularly in Asia, where it has roots in Indian, Chinese, and Southeast Asian cultures. It is made by soaking cooked rice and allowing it to ferment naturally with beneficial microbes, often over 24-48 hours. This process enriches the rice with probiotics, enhancing digestive health and gut microflora. Fermentation also improves nutrient bioavailability, making minerals and vitamins more accessible for absorption. Fermented rice is a source of carbohydrates for sustained energy and contains small amounts of amino acids and B-vitamins. Its tangy flavor pairs well with savory meals. However, its high acidity may not suit individuals prone to acid reflux, and careful preparation is essential to avoid bacterial contamination. Celebrated for its simplicity and health perks, fermented rice exemplifies how traditional food preservation methods can offer surprising nutritional benefits.
