Tepache, a traditional Mexican beverage made from fermented pineapple peels, core, and sugar, is gaining attention as a healthy, low-waste alternative to soda. This fizzy, probiotic-rich drink, often sold by street vendors, can be made at home by fermenting pineapple scraps with spices. The fermentation process, which takes a few days, transforms the ingredients into a tangy, sweet, and refreshing beverage that is beneficial for gut health and can develop a low alcohol content with longer fermentation.
