Slow Food Workshop Gets Friendly With Fermentation

The process of fermentation makes food more digestible and nutritious. When consumed on a regular basis, sauerkraut and fermented vegetables help maintain the acid-alkaline balance of the body, strengthen the immune and nervous systems and contribute to overall health.
