What You Need to Know
The fermentation process involves the use of microorganisms to break down starches and proteins into simpler compounds, typically taking 2-5 days and requiring temperatures between 20-30°C (68-86°F). This process is a form of lactic acid fermentation, where the microorganisms produce lactic acid as a byproduct, contributing to the preservation and flavor of the final product.
