Top 10 Probiotic Foods

Kombucha

Kombucha is a fermented green or black or tea drink. It is usually fermented by a group of friendly bacteria and yeast. It is available in many areas of the world, including Asia. Some companies sell Kombucha online. Although sufficient proof is lacking to confirm the effects of this tea on health, several studies link it to some health benefits.

In most cases, studies on kombucha involved a test tube and animals. So, the results may not be the same with humans. Since it is fermented with yeast and bacteria, it may improve certain health issues because of its probiotic features.

Pickles

Pickles are also called gherkins. They are made when you store cucumbers in a solution of salt and water for a long period. The solution undergoes fermentation via the lactic acid bacteria naturally present in the pickles. The fermentation process gives them a sour taste. Pickles and cucumbers contain high levels of probiotic bacteria, which are known to aid digestion. They also have low quantities of calories and high quantities of vitamin K, which play significant roles in blood clotting. Pickles may also be a good source of sodium. Do not buy pickles made from vinegar, because they always lack active probiotics.
