Beet Kvass: A Fermented Tonic

Kvass (pronounced vass) is a traditional fermented beverage from the Slavic world — deeply rooted in the culinary and medicinal traditions of Russia, Ukraine, and surrounding regions.

Beet kvass has deep roots in Ukrainian tradition. This crimson tonic is a true folk remedy, praised for its ability to cleanse the blood, support digestion, boost immunity, and aid liver function. It’s made using chopped raw beets, filtered water, and salt—and left to ferment. No juicing. No cooking. The beets essentially "cook" themselves in a salt brine, producing beneficial bacteria and carbon dioxide, which gives the kvass its natural effervescence.

At our ferment station, we only use organic sea salt—sometimes French Celtic sea salt. While both fall under the category of sea salt, Celtic sea salt is distinguished by its rich mineral content, which includes magnesium, potassium, calcium, and numerous trace elements.

Fermenting beets this way enhances their already impressive nutritional profile:

Iron, magnesium, potassium, calcium
Vitamins A, C, and B-complex (especially folate)
Fibre, antioxidants, and nitrates for heart health

The fermentation process adds probiotics, which support a healthy gut microbiome — the key for everything from mood to immunity to inflammation control.

Tasting Notes

Expect a ruby-red probiotic tonic with deep purple hues, tasting salty, subtly sweet, and earthy, and pleasantly tangy. The effervescence adds a refreshing quality, making it a delightful standalone drink.

Recommendations

Ideal for daily consumption, especially beneficial during periods requiring increased iron intake, such as the menstrual cycle in women. Start with a small serving to allow your body to adjust to its potent probiotic content.

Note: Due to its natural pigments, beet kvass may cause red or pink discoloration in urine or stool—a harmless and normal occurrence. Individuals with kidney conditions or those advised to limit oxalate intake should consult a healthcare professional before consumption.
