Fermented foods, which include items like yogurt, kimchi, and soy products, are created through controlled microbial growth and enzymatic reactions. They offer various health benefits such as improved gut health, stronger immunity, and enhanced nutrient availability. The document also highlights specific soy products like soy sauce and tempeh, along with their fermentation processes and nutritional implications.

Indonesia.
* Tempeh can be made from a number of different plant
materials

10.  With the growth of the bacterium Klebsiella
pneumoniae
during fermentation.
 The usual source of this vitamin in the diet is

could be an important source of B12 for people
subsisting on a largely vegetarian diet.
 Tempeh bongkrek has been associated with
occasional serious out-breaks of food poisoning due
to the bacterium Burkholderia cocovenenans growing
in the product and elaborating the toxins bongkrekic
acid and toxoflavin.
