HOW TO MAKE BEET KVASS
#beetkvass #fermentedfood #probioticdrinks
Beet kvass is an amazing tonic full of gut-healthy probiotics! Fermenting not only is great for our digestive health but increases the storage length of many foods such as beets! I only make it in the spring when beets are in season but enjoy the health benefits long past spring.
Today I am sharing my easy method of how I make beet kvass. You only need beets, water, salt and a bit of time to make this nourishing drink. Beet Kvass has historically been known as a blood tonic, a liver cleanse, and digestive aid.
Recipe:
*Gently wash in cool water. Roughly chop 3-4 beets into 1/2 inch pieces, remove the tops
add to 1/2 gallon ball canning jar.
*Add 2.5-3 teaspoons of sea salt, I use Celtic gray salt.
*Cover with filtered water one inch above beets.
*Cover with lid and ring or fermentation lid.
Leave at room temperature for 2-7 days.
*Remember to do a second ferment because you want to get all the goodness out of your beautiful beets.
*First ferment is anywhere from 2-7 days. You can taste after 2 days, then bottle and refrigerate when you like the taste. I always use a fermentation lid and bubbler on a half gallon glass jar.
When the bubbler falls (usually in 7 days) strain into bottles then refrigerate.
*Second ferment is for 2 days, then bottle and refrigerate.
*Remember to use filtered water and non-iodized salt without anti-caking agents.
Make this probiotic-rich drink, it will add another healthy food to your diet!
Best,
Caren

Liver Detox Truths: What Really Works | Beet Kvass Recipe
Everywhere you look there's someone claiming you can flush your liver with juices, pills or powders. And the truth is--they don't really work.
You might feel better temporarily, but the only way to truly support your liver is by reducing your body's toxic load and using a powerful tonic like beet kvass every day.
Start with a couple of tablespoons and work up to 4 ounces daily on an empty stomach.
Beets are a powerful tool in your food as medicine arsenal because of their ability to support toxin removal in the liver, aid in digestive processes, even help your brain stay sharp as you age. Plus the fermentation process adds probiotics for a healthier gut plus natural vitamins. It's a one stop shop for long term benefits.
My Weck Jar:
Celtic Sea Salt:
Ingredients:
1 1/2 quarts filtered water (use spring water if you don't have a good filter)
1 tablespoon sea salt
2 medium or 1 large beet (about 2 cups of chopped beets)
Mix everything together and cover with a paper towel and rubber band or clean cloth. Set the mixture away in a cool dark place for 5 to 7 days. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks after fermenting is done. No need to remove the beets.

Beetroot
Kanji
Probiotic
Lacto
There are few fermented drinks you can make *so easily & cheaply* that provide:
- invaluable nutrients, vitamins, minerals
- friendly bacteria: the benefits of a fermented food (as with yoghurt, miso, kimchi, sauerkraut, kombucha, kefir etc)
- cleansing & detox
- *hangover* benefits
- and a cure for early-stage yeast infection (bye-bye cranberry juice, she said)
All you need is some beets, salt & water.
