Description: Mẻ is a traditional condiment in Vietnamese cuisine. It has a distinctive sourness and smell. (Its not pleasant but should not be irritating/pungent).Mẻ is the cooked rice being lactic fermented by yeast and maintained with the existence of P. redivivus. It is usually made from leftover rice or rice vermicelli. It originated from the Northern part of Vietnam and is commonly used in several specialty food.Mẻ has some notable components: living Panagrellus redivivus nematodes, yeast and bacterias. These nematodes subsist on yeast and are really small but yes, you can see them wriggling on the surface with your naked eye. Contrary to the popular belief, these nematodes dont contribute much to the fermentation process but are merely an indication of the quality of mẻ. The lactic acid bacteria (LBA) is the main component here. LBA are gram-positive (harmless) and they ferment glucose primarily to lactic acid, or to lactic acid, CO2 and ethanol. They contribute to the taste and texture of fermented products and inhibit food spoilage bacteria by producing growth-inhibiting substances and large amounts of lactic acid (low pH environment impedes the growth of harmful bacterias like E.coli & Salmonella)Mẻ hay cơm mẻ là một gia vị truyền thống trong ẩm thực Việt Nam có vị chua gắt và thơm đặc trưng, thường được làm từ cơm nguội hoặc bún và có xuất xứ từ miền Bắc Việt Nam.
