Fermented Rice

Fermented rice refers to rice that has undergone a fermentation process where natural bacteria or yeast break down sugars, producing beneficial enzymes, vitamins, and probiotics. Fermentation is often used to improve the rice’s digestibility, nutritional profile, and flavor. It is a common practice in many cultures for making dishes such as dosa, idli, or rice wine. Fermented rice is known to aid digestion, boost gut health, and provide enhanced nutritional benefits compared to non-fermented rice. The process is also integral in various traditional cuisines globally.
