    convert sugars into lactic acid through fermentation

    Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) are a group of beneficial bacteria that convert sugars into lactic acid through fermentation. This process not only helps preserve food but also enhances its flavor and nutritional value. LAB are commonly found in fermented foods like yogurt, sauerkraut, and kimchi, and they play a crucial role in gut health by maintaining a balanced microbiome.
