Fermented Beet Kvass
This is one of the easiest and most nutrient dense fermented beverages and a personal favourite of mine. You can add the Beet Kvass to salad dressings, soup or wherever a slightly sour earthy taste is desired. After making your Beet Kvass, use the leftover beets to make a simple roasted beetroot soup, it of course will have a more sour taste then fresh beetroot. - Marieke Rodenstein
