Fermented Foods: an Ancient Tradition of Health

Our Bellevue 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 goes into our bean paste or soy sauce, fermentation is a big part of the Korean dining experience. People have been fermenting their foods for thousands of years, sometimes to preserve it and sometimes to improve its taste. However, did you know that fermentation is also surprisingly good for your health?

Indeed, fermented foods in general have been shown to boast a long list of health benefits. Many have active bacterial cultures, like a yogurt, which boost your metabolism and clean out your digestive tract. Vitamins and minerals become easier to digest when food is fermented, and they work well to aid your immune system and prevent diseases. From the common cold to certain types of cancer, fermented food can protect you from all manner of ailments!
