Better digestion. Clearer skin. Stronger immunity.That’s the power of fermented foods—ancient culinary treasures that are as delicious as they are healing.

AC Art Of Food believes your gut is the command center of your health, and when you nourish it with the right foods, you’re giving your body the tools to thrive. Fermented foods, rich in probiotics and enzymes, are one of the most powerful ways to do just that—especially when you choose the right ones for your blood type.

Why Fermented Foods Matter for Gut Health

Your gut is home to trillions of microbes (your microbiome) that:

✔️ Help digest food

✔️ Absorb nutrients

✔️ Train your immune system

✔️ Balance hormones and mood

When your microbiome is happy, you glow from the inside out. But when it’s imbalanced? Think bloating, fatigue, skin issues, brain fog, and low immunity.

Fermented foods—made through natural processes like pickling or culturing—deliver beneficial bacteria (probiotics) that repopulate and rebalance your gut flora. They’re like a reset button for your digestive health.

🩸 Fermented Foods by Blood Type

Not all ferments work the same for everyone. Here’s how to feed your gut wisely, by type:

Type O & B: Gut Firestarters with Kimchi & Sauerkraut

Kimchi (spicy fermented cabbage) and sauerkraut (fermented cabbage) pack probiotics + fiber.
Support strong digestion and immunity, especially for protein-heavy Type O and versatile Type B.
💡 Try It: Add a spoonful of kimchi to your grain bowls or top salads with sauerkraut for tangy crunch.

Type A: Gentle Gut Harmony with Miso

Miso, a fermented soybean paste, is soothing and gut-friendly for Type A’s sensitive digestion.
Adds depth to soups, dressings, and marinades while restoring microbial balance.
💡 Try It: Sip a warm miso broth as part of your evening wind-down ritual.

Type AB: Kefir, Your Gut’s BFF

Kefir, a fermented dairy or non-dairy drink, delivers billions of probiotics in one serving.
Perfect for Type AB’s hybrid digestion, supporting balance and energy.
💡 Try It: Blend kefir with blueberries and flaxseed for a microbiome-boosting smoothie.
