The future of plant-based Food Fermentation: What if we could transform the humblest of ingredients - vegetables, but also grains, legumes, seeds - into living, health-boosting probiotics, nutritional powerhouses and carriers of new complex aromas and profound umami experience?
Are you ready to discover how?
This evening invites you into the luminous crossroads of culinary delight and microbial science, where ancient wisdom meets contemporary food innovation. Hosted by Zoa Culture, this exclusive workshop explores the dynamic tension and synergy between wild fermentation and culture(d) precision, shedding light on how plant-based ingredients, even beyond vegetables, can become deeply nourishing, richly flavorful, and functionally transformative.
🧬 A Journey Through Microbial Alchemy
