sattu is the fermented food

Answer 2

Answer:

Idli is the fermented food formed from the fermentation of a batter made by grinding soaked rice and urad dal.

Explanation:

• Salt is added to the prepared idli batter and then fermented overnight before making idlis.
• Fermentation of the batter overnight leads to the rapid growth of natural microbes like Streptococcus thermophilus in the batter.
• These microbes heavens the batter and make it light and anaerobic due to the production of lactic acid and $C O_{2}$.
• Fermentation increases the nutrient content of the food – increases vitamins B and C content, increases methionine, free sugar, chlorine and other micronutrients.
