1. A process providing a method for production of fermented probiotic functional foods from plants, the method comprising:
activation of lactic acid bacteria in an agar-agar formulation to produce a probiotic starter culture composition; formulation of plant substrates assuring elevated water activity hospitable to fermentation; culturing and incubation of said plant substrates with activated lactic acid bacteria in said probiotic starter culture composition acidifying said plant substrate to within a specific pH range; cooling said plant substrate, and refrigerating said plant substrate to retard further fermentation, wherein said plant substrate comprises or is derived from at least one of a vegetable, grain, fruit and legume edible by humans or animals.
