Minneapolis/St. Paul Magazine's Dara Moskowitz-Grumdahl brings her extensive knowledge of the Midwest dining scene to Eating and Drinking.

This week Dara spoke to The Morning Show's Jill Riley and Steve Seel about the fermentation trend in Minnesota. Fermentation is a metabolic process that converts sugar to acids, gases and/or alcohol. It occurs in yeast and bacteria, but also in oxygen-starved muscle cells, as in the case of lactic acid fermentation. Dara explains why the trend is picking up speed in Minnesota and where you can pick up some fermented delicacies.
