Abstract :

Fermented foods play a major role in human health and diet because of its probiotic properties. Probiotics usually helps in promoting the good gut health. Fermented foods stay in menu of every traditional food all over the world. Mostly Lactic acid Bacteria is present in fermented foods. The current paper is reviewed about the traditional fermented foods and their probiotic properties.
