Fresh cukes have pepsin in them but Lacto-fermentation increases vitamin levels, enhances digestibility, produces lots of helpful enzymes and antibiotic/anticarcinogenic compounds. The lactic acid promotes healthy flora in the intestine, too. By-products include hydrogen peroxide (which increases oxygen levels) and benzoic acid. Good stuff!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10330008208876840127noreply@blogger.com
