- 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.

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. - Навчання та стиль
I love beet kvass I make mine with garlic turmeric ginger orange peels cinnamon and cilantro and it was spicy and good.
Would you mind sharing your recipe?
No need to peel!.There are extra benefits if you keep the peel on -(just scrub gently )if you use organic beets
I guess we are all different. I enjoy the taste of beet kvass. I like it even more when I mix it with milk kefir. Then it becomes an intense pink color so, at the moment, you could call it a Barbie beverage. I use the recipes from the book, "The Farmhouse Culture Guide to Fermenting." There are seven beet kvass recipes in there mostly flavored with different fruits. It also uses less salt. If salt consumption is a serious issue, look into the traditional eastern European recipes for kvass made with rye bread. It uses sugar (or some variation thereof like honey or molasses) instead of salt. You could add beets to that format and have the best of both worlds. I find my beets left from beet kvass production (which I cut into half-inch cubes) to be both firm and still full of life. I have found that I can make soups and salads based on them, cooked or raw, which are quite pleasing to my family.
It appears that the world is split into two factions regarding the flavoring of beverages. One part thinks that beverages should be on the sweet side, the other thinks they should be sour and salty. Each side thinks the other is bonkers. I say there is room for all. Have fun with the wonderful world we live in.
I mix it 50/50 with homemade kombucha for a delicious probiotic drink.
Awesome!
Thank you 😊
great help.. all the informations that i needed are in your blog
Glad it was helpful!
Finally, found some organic beets and am in the process of making it. Thank you so much. Mariaisabel
I hope you enjoy it!
Definitely having this. I’m buying organic beets today and already have pink salt 💖💖💖 thanks! Just subscribed ✔️
Thank you so much!
Yes!!!!! I love beets, salt, saurkraut, vinegar. Lol no problem.. I have never heard of this. Thank you
It's great stuff Alison. Make a batch!
I make mine with golden beets - so it has a milder sweeter flavor and it's orange! I put salt and water, yes, but also cloves in it and sometimes ginger. Really delicious! Much better than just salty beet water. I hope you try it! I loved hearing about the health benefits. Cheers!
I do golden as well and that stuff knocks me on my butt! Way stronger than red for me. I love it!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR this amazing recipe.😇
Cool dark place as in?? Fridge??
Plus i have BP, CAN I PUT LESS SALT??
Not in the fridge because you want it to ferment. So somewhere 65 to 70 degrees is ideal. And as for the salt, we're talking about 1 tablespoon per 2 quarts of water so if you drank 1/4 cup each day that would be 32 servings of Kvass so you'd be getting 1/32 of a tablespoon at each serving. I don't even know how to measure that. LOL. But to answer your question, you can use some less but you can't leave it out and make sure you're using good quality sea salt and not table salt. --Rachel
Apple 🍏 cider vinegar with mother is good for a lot of stuff too.
Yes ACV is a great tool for the arsenal as well. Each tonic has its own benefits.
I love beet kvass. To me, it's a very sauerkrauty type of flavor.
I love it too!
For someone who has already had a chloesectomy. I found this a bit later, but I think. It still may be of benefit. Besides, it gives me something to do with my beets. Have you thought about adding tumeric and/or ginger?
Yes you could add turmeric or ginger if you wanted to Kenneth!
I hope this isn’t too silly of a question, but once the juice is drunk, do you eat the beets or can you refill it with liquid to make more?
It's not silly at all! As you get near the bottom of the jar the kvass gets very thick. You can dilute that with more water and drink for a few more days. You can eat the beets if you want to but they are very soft and very salty. They won't hurt you of course so dig in if you want them.
I just found your channel, and I know this video is older. I'm not sure if you will see this message, but have you ever used golden beets?
Yes I have. They work great too!
Thank you, so it will expire after 2 weeks in the refrigerator, right??
Eh...it just gets a bit thick and strong after two weeks. Not really expired but probably not as fun to drink.
@@FeastandFarmCooks OK.. Thanks
Can't go wrong with beets! I'm on a very strict "No Salt" diet, what else could I use?
Hey Will, salt is always added to the recipes I've seen but you could just leave it out. I'm sure you'd still get some benefits from the drink no matter what and some is better than none. One expert does add a bit of whey from raw milk to hers which is leftover after making yogurt but that's not always easy to get either. I'd say go with beets and water. It will be okay :)
@@FeastandFarmCooks Thanks, I'll give it a try!
Hey, could you explain the mechanism by wich Cholesterol would be reduced?
Sure. Cholesterol is made in the liver and beet kvass is a tonic for the whole body but also the liver to help flush impurities. Beet kvass has been linked to lower triglycerides and it's nitric oxide levels are also important for blood vessel health. There's lots more you can read and I think this article is particularly helpful: nourishedkitchen.com/beet-kvass-benefits/
@@FeastandFarmCooks thanks
For any Slav, this taste is as natural as breathing.
I know it has to be! I've grown to like it. 😊
In your opinion, does drinking this drink regularly affect kidney function? I'm wondering about this
I don't know. I would be afraid to give my opinion on it. Unfortunately your doctor won't know either..
But this article may help you read up on some of the benefits www.livestrong.com/article/13721015-beet-kvass/
For how long do you take this? Can you eat the beets afterwards? I'd hate to throw it away.
I take it every morning forever. :) The beets spend quite a while in the liquid and are quite salty and soft but if you want to try to eat them, there's no reason you can't.
I tried roasting them once (after fermenting as kvass). They were very sour and interesting- maybe it would be good with more butter, more carmelization, more honey.. but in general I don't think I'll do it again. They really are "well spent" after the fermentation process.
Hi. Does this mixture produce alcohol?
No not at all. Edited to add: If you were to grate the beets it could ferment and make alcohol but just chunking them in to big pieces prevents that in the short few days it sits.
@@FeastandFarmCooks thank you
does anyone have a problem with mold or the other yeast thing?? i always get it!!!! ugh
If yours is molding, make sure your jar is clean and that you aren't using a wooden spoon to stir it. If your house is too cool (in the 60's) that could also cause mold.
I have added berries to make it taste better.
Yes! There are lots of recipes for fruit kvass!
IF THE BEETS taste awful, I wonder what is wrong. We grew up on Borscht, and then the Jewish cold beet drinks. and the Anglos decided to sell tinned beets. and the all taste wonderful. KVASS comes from Russia/Ukraine Former USSR countries and we dont use salt ... salt is something Asians use in their version which is not KVASS
I'm not sure. It doesn't taste awful, it's just not something Americans are used to drinking.
My gosh, why all the salt. Most of us suffer from high blood pressure or will after drinking the salt/beet water.
There's a difference between table salt and sea salt and their sodium levels. The balancing minerals often don't affect blood pressure at all or minimally. The salt is necessary for the fermentation process and you only drink a few tablespoons each morning. Plus one tablespoon is diluted in 16 cups of water. It works out fine. 😊
What if I eat it instead? the Beets
Unfortunately the fermentation process is necessary for these benefits.
