Why We Ferment Our Pepper Mash

The answer is really quite simple:

Fermentation creates a LOW PH naturally. Others may use vinegar to lower pH and nothing is wrong with that method except it adds the vinegar flavor. We want our Mashes to have only pure natural flavor. So whether your making you own Hot Sauce or Salsas or just wanna add some kick to your favorite recipes. Pure pepper flavor is what you get. 

 Takes a lot longer but the benefits are MORE than worth the extra effort.
1.  Makes food more digestible.
Because the bacteria predigests the food, the resulting product is easier to digest.  If you have trouble digesting raw fruits and vegetables, fermentation may be helpful for you!
2.  Fermented foods have more nutrients.
The bacteria in fermented foods produce more vitamins and nutrients as they digest the starches and sugars.  They particularly produce B vitamins and vitamin K2.
3. Chock full of good bacteria (probiotics).
Some experts say that each small 1/2 cup serving of fermented foods can contain up to 10 trillion probiotic organisms.  Dr. Mercola states the following in an article on his website
4.  Helps keep your immune system healthy.
80% of your immune system resides in your gut.  A healthy gut = a healthy immune system.
Adding fermented foods to your diet will help ensure a healthy gut!
5.  Helps curb sugar cravings.
By adding fermented foods to your diet, you can limit, if not completely stop, your sugar cravings!
6.  Lactic acid promotes growth of healthy bacteria in the gut.
The lactic acid produced during fermentation helps healthy bacteria already present in your gut to proliferate.  This leads to better gut health!
7.  Increases flavor of foods.
Fermentation adds a new depth of flavor to fermented foods.  They are delicious!
