How to prepare beet kvass?
Preparing this health-promoting kvass is very simple and does not require complicated ingredients. For production you will need the following ingredients:
Ingredients:
- Large preserving jar or jug with a capacity of 3 liters
- Lid with holes or gauze to cover
- 700 grams of red beet
- 2 tablespoons of flour or 2 pieces of stale rye or dark bread
- 200 grams of sugar (white or brown, but not honey, because it inhibits fermentation)
- 100 grams of raisins
Procedure:
- Thoroughly wash the red beet and grate it into smaller pieces or slice it. The smaller the pieces, the faster the fermentation proceeds.
- Place the grated or sliced beet into the preserving jar or jug with a capacity of 3 liters.
- Add sugar and raisins to the container. Sugar is necessary for fermentation as it is an energy source for the fermenting bacteria. Raisins, in turn, help improve the fermentation process.
- If you use flour, add it to the other ingredients. If you have stale bread, you can add pieces of bread instead of flour, which will improve fermentation.
- Cover the container with the lid with holes or gauze so the kvass can ferment freely and excess gas can escape.
- Let it ferment in a warm place for 3 to 5 days. During this time fermentation processes will occur that create natural probiotics that contribute to the health of the digestive tract.
- After this time the kvass is ready to use. You can drink it as a refreshing beverage or take it in small doses as a detox remedy.
Conclusion
Beet kvass is an excellent natural drink that has many health benefits. It helps not only with detoxification and regeneration of the body, but also supports vascular health, improves digestion and can serve as prevention against some serious diseases. Its preparation is simple and requires only basic ingredients that you likely have readily available. If you are looking for a way to take care of your health naturally, beet kvass is an ideal choice!
