| Cultured foods and drinks aid the body and digestive system by predigesting foods that are hard for the body to breakdown and providing the body with fresh, active intestinal flora and beneficial bacteria. Cultured foods also aid the digestion by changing/removing chemicals or compounds found in soy or milk products that could be harmful to the body or that certain individuals may have intolerance for, such as lactose intolerance seen with milk products. Many people, who can not use dairy products, find that they can use cultured milk products as the heavy proteins and lactose are broken down by the active bacteria and yeast found in different cultures. Most people know of yogurt, cheese, buttermilk, and sourdough bread – all cultured food products. However, in the US, most know little about cultured dairy drinks such as Kefir (Balkans), Amazake a rice drink from Japan, Fil Mjölk (Sweden), or Fresh Viili (Finland). Many of these wonderful foods may be used in place of milk in recipes, used to preserve other types of food, or to make many types of fresh soft cheeses easily from your kitchen.
