2. Watch out for added sugar and salt
Fermented foods like pickles and sauerkraut are high in salt and sugar. It is best to prepare your own or opt for low salt and sugar options.
3. Practise good hygiene
Practise good hygiene to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria when making fermented foods at home. Use clean utensils and containers, and wash your hands.

4. Monitor your reaction
Start with a small amount of a new fermented food and monitor your body’s reaction. Some people might experience allergic reactions or digestive discomfort.
