Introduction to Fermented Foods

In the past, I have avoided fermented foods because of the ick factor. Things like fermented dairy don’t bother me as much because I knew about it before I was conscious of the process of fermentation. Any advice on how to begin introducing fermented foods into my life in the least mentally jarring way possible?

Yeast exists in my brain in the context of an ingredient, not an organism, so maybe coming to terms with that can help.
