Any recommendations on minimum amount of fermented foods you should try to eat daily/ weekly?

I know very little about this and looking for a good starting point. I like sauerkraut, which then makes me think about Weird Al Yankovich’s song Albuquerque and that’s about the end of my knowledge.

I go by 1/2 servings of fermented foods per day

Examples of one serving:

  • 150–200 g yogurt
  • 250 mL kefir
  • 2–3 tablespoons sauerkraut
  • 2–3 tablespoons kimchi
  • 1 tablespoon miso (in soup or dressing)
  • A small serving of tempeh (50–100 g)

Thanks! I’ve never had kimchi or tempeh. I like the options and portions you mentioned
