my wife describes ultra processed food as food that is basically pre digested for you before you eat it, which seems like a pretty good definition to me

That’s why we cook food. Cooked grain is way more nutritious than raw grain. The kitchen is an external stomach.

theres a difference between cooked rice and ritz crackers

ritz crackers are basically already digested before you eat them

Seems like that would include all fermented foods.
