Why does Immunitrition add a culture starter to ferment the vegetables?
We add a culture starter to ensure your veggies are bursting with beneficial microorganisms. Traditional culturing methods rely on the microbes already present on the vegetables and in the surrounding environment to inoculate the veggies. Sometimes you have no way of knowing exactly what strains of microbes are naturally present. There could be a concentration of non-beneficial microbes and possibly even pathogenic ones. That’s why we choose inoculate with a fast-growing, hardy strain of microorganisms called L. Plantarum that quickly crowds out any undesirable microbes resulting in a superior cultured food!
