Most people who enjoy fermented foods will have heard of kefir, kombucha and sauerkraut. 

Beet kvass is something that has not yet reached the same level of popularity.

However, this Russian fermented beet dish is a nutritional powerhouse. If you enjoy the taste of beets, this is one food that you should definitely try.

Beet kvass is packed full of the probiotic bacteria that your digestive and immune system need to function properly.

Additionally, the beets themselves are potent stores of sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, phosphorous, vitamins A and C, niacin, folic acid, and fiber.

Best of all, beet kvass is incredibly simple to make. All you need is salt, water, beets, and a dry, warm place to let the magic of fermentation happen!
