Company description

HEX Ferments uses the traditional method of fermentation to preserve and transform local, organic, and scrupulously-sourced ingredients into nourishing foods – presently: unique sauerkrauts, kimchi, seasonal ferments, and kombucha tea. Fermented foods are in every culture and for thousands of years have been an effective way to preserve the harvest and make food more digestible while detoxifying and enhancing nutrients. The effect of fermentation transforms foods to make flavors more complex, while adding naturally occurring probiotics to your diet.
