Fermented plant-based dairy analogues: a growing trend in sustainable food choices

Fermentation is a natural process where microorganisms work their magic, transforming food to enhance its flavor, texture, and nutritional value. In plant-based dairy alternatives, fermentation is essential for developing that familiar tanginess and creamy mouthfeel. Beyond taste, fermented foods are rich in vitamins and probiotics, offering health benefits. The WHEATBIOME project focuses on harnessing wheat by-products to create nutritious dairy-free options, contributing to sustainability and a diverse food system.
