Our Seattle Korean restaurant is proud to bring the ancient tradition of Korean fermentation to you today. Be it the fermented cabbage of our kimchi or the fermented soy that makes our bean paste or soy sauce, fermentation is a big part of the Korean dining experience. People have been fermenting for thousands of years, sometimes to preserve food and sometimes to improve its taste. However, did you know that fermentation is also surprisingly good for your health?
Yes, fermented foods have been shown to boast a wide range of health benefits. The beneficial microbes that go into the fermentation process not only work to improve your metabolism, but they also convert nutrients into a form that is easier for your body to digest. The vitamins and minerals made available by fermented foods boost the immune system and kill harmful microbes, resulting in a lower instance of disease. Even certain cancers respond to components of fermented foods.
With this in mind, come on down to Old Village today and start making a bigger portion of your diet fermented!
