Fermentation Breeds Enzymes

Sally Fallon holds a similar view on enzymes as the authors of The Columbia Encyclopedia Of Nutrition. She cites examples of the benefits of culturing and fermentation that have been used in the diets of traditional cultures worldwide. “Almost all traditional societies incorporate raw, enzyme-rich foods into their cuisines—not only vegetable foods but also raw animal proteins and fats in the form of raw dairy foods, raw fish and raw muscle and organ meats. These diets also traditionally include a certain amount of cultured or fermented foods, which have an enzyme content that is further enhanced by the fermenting and culturing process.”
If you are interested in learning how to ferment and culture your own foods, I’d highly recommend a book called Wild Fermentation (2003) written by Sandos Ellix Katz. The book runs the whole gamut of culturing and fermentation including: the health benefits of fermented foods, vegetable ferments, bean ferments, dairy ferments (and vegan alternatives), breads, fermented grain porridges and beverages, wines, beers, and vinegars (www.wildfermentation.com).
Back in the pre-industrialized society days, people would make all their alcoholic beverages using fermentation techniques and it was, for them, a great way to preserve their grain harvests since they didn’t have refrigeration. Besides that, fermenting the grains helped make them easier to digest. The beers and wines made through this type of process actually had some health value, unlike most of the alcohol we drink today. A great book to check out if you’re interested in learning to make your own brews in this fashion is called Sacred And Herbal Healing Beers: The Secrets Of Ancient Fermentation (1998) by Stephen Harrod Buhner.
