#BEETS#BEETKVASS#FERMENTATION#PROBIOTIC#
This beet fermented drink called beet Kvass is a staple in Ukraine. This has been used for centuries there for many ailments and a drink loaded with antioxidants and vitamins and minerals. Below I will add some of the great health value that this packs.
My sister Clarissa, nicknamed “ Crissy “ was the little second mother in my family, the eldest, always checking on everyone and passing on all her great health tips. I learned all my fermentation recipes from her and will always honor her for that.
The candy cane looking beet variety I used is called a “ CHIOGGIA” beet. This is an heirloom beet and is red on the outside, the prettiest beet of all! The inside looks just like a candy cane. The purple beet I used is referred to as a “ RED BEET”. There are also orange colored beets which are called “ GOLDEN BEETS”. There are also white beets called “ SUGAR BEETS”, and many other varieties.
RECIPE: 3 medium or 2 large organic, peeled, and coarsely chopped beets, 1 1/2 tbsp kosher salt or sea salt( NO IODINE), filtered or spring water ( NO CHLORINATED WATER)
HEALTH BENEFITS: These health benefits are stated in the “ NOURISHING TRADITIONS”cookbook I referenced in my video. Beet Kvass is a digestive aid, blood tonic, alkalizes the blood, cleanses the liver. There have been many scientific studies that have documented that beets have a regenerating effect on the body. Beets are loaded with nutrients!
I hope you try this beet elixir sometime!
