4. Fermentation & pickles: Fermented foods add depth and complexity to vegan dishes, providing a range of unique flavors and textures. Fermented foods contain beneficial probiotics, which are live microorganisms that support the health of your gut microbiome.

A healthy gut microbiome is essential for overall digestive health and can also boost the immune system.
