Hi Sweet Friends, Have you ever made Beet Kvass? I love it and find it a nice change of pace from Kombucha. Next, I look forward to making traditional Russian Kvass with Rye Bread. Has anyone tried that? I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences. And for another Beet Kvass video, be sure to check out Brad Makes Beet Kvass | It's Alive | Bon Appétit here: ua-cam.com/video/6OsLi9mHeQs/v-deo.html Love, Mary
Michele Michael* - Hi Michele, You actually just tear up some Rye bread and throw it into a jar with some salt and you let it ferment plus you add some cut up apples, some spices… It’s actual Russian Kvass. But you will laugh… The first time I made it I was following directions from a Russian friend who gave me the recipe. Oh heaven!! it was like the strongest bourbon tasting ferment I ever had!!! 😱😱😱I’ve already filmed the video where I talk about ferment problems but I will definitely do a follow-up and I think I should discuss Rye Kvass. Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
@@MarysNest That IS funny. :) Now that you mention this, I was gifted with lots of unique superfoods and odds and ends by a friend who is moving to another state, and one of them was an unopened jar of Polish "Sour Ryemeal." Its ingredients are only two: rye and water. I opened it and there were bubble depressions (like in a ferment) at the top! My friend thinks it is from an ancient sour starter begun hundreds of years ago. I don't know, but I added a couple tablespoons to my sourdough batter today. Am so curious how it may affect the taste of the bread! (Oh, and the ONLY thing I could find online for this Sour Ryemeal was SOUP recipes, LOL.)
@@WholeBibleBelieverWoman - Oh my goodness Michele - It's so funny that you say this. I was just reading an article about the sour ryemeal...and yes, it said that the Russians add it to soup!! They like it in Borscht!! How about that!! You will have to tell me how it tastes in the bread. I am so excited about this!! Love, Mary
@@MarysNest That IS funny -- because I certainly never heard of it before! When I researched it to try to figure out how to use it I found out that the Polish version of the soup is called "White Borscht" (but it doesn't have any beets in it, haha). I really couldn't taste it in the bread. My guess is that since it came from Poland and is not organic it was irradiated. I'm going to try to see if it will reactivate with a little bit of flour and water. If it doesn't I'll figure it got killed. If it convinces me it's alive, I may end up adding it to my starter (or a second jar of starter)!
Beet greens - YUM -- here is a tasty secret - if you like kale - make a pot of kale - after it is tender - then ADD YOUR BEET GREENS - amazingly the kale picks up the sweet rich flavor of the beet greens. So delish!
Mary dear.. We also make kvass & call it "Kaanji " water out hre in india, with carrots also with salt & + 2 tblspn lightly crushed whole black mustard seeds with skin, (& add drops of mustard oil) fr 5-7days on a warm shadey window sill. Stir it every 2- 3 days with wooden spoon till tangy then re fridgerate. One drinks this, a cup daily as it's a highly beneficial prebiotic health drink for our gut microbiome... the solid is used as a pickle or in salads, or sadwiches. Do try it once 👌💕👍💐
I love the earthy flavor of beets! I have been making beet kvass for a couple of years now. I only buy organic beets and definitely leave the skins on. I process them two times, and the second batch is just as wonderful as the first one. After that, I feed those beet pieces to my chickens and they go crazy for them.
Oh my God, woman......I love you!!!! Not only do you teach us these fantastic, simple recipes, your voice is also very soothing! What a fantastic experience in my journey to becoming a decent home cook! THANKS!!

I’m SO proud that you’re from my state too, Texas! 🥰💪🏼✋🏼💝
I remember my grandmother using a hot water bath in a pot on the stove to loosen the beet peel for about 2 -3 minutes. When you then plunge the beets into ice water for 30 seconds to a minute, the peels just rub off leaving all the beet behind to process. The beets aren't cooked at this point, this just loosens the peel.
Really nice and simple. I am from India and we too make something similar here with black carrots ( we get them here). I add some red mustard seeds powder, and chilli powder along with salt and water and let it ferment for a week. The taste is really good and tangy. We call it " kanji" in Hindi language. You may try too!😊

@@petsnaturetv1690 it's EXCELLENT for acid reflux. The probiotics help to cure what's actually causing the reflux and the ph is well balanced for our bodies.
@@divyajami3182 the white mold scares me too, but I keep reading its perfectly okay. The better I keep my vegetables under the water theless I have of it. I also always start with some liquid from a previous ferment. It doesn't have the same vegetable. Where I live most stores carry fermented pickles and kraut by a label called Bubbies. If I've let my previous ferments "dry up," (I go thru phases and sometimes just don't have energy for ferments) then I buy some Bubbies and use their fluid to get my thing going. Anyway, I find that helps keep the white down. And I always take my clean jar before I start and wipe the whole inside with live vinegar. That helps keep it down. But I've stopped throwing my ferments away when it does form. I just scrape it off like they say. So far so good
Also.. love sautéed beet greens. Super good when sautéed with rainbow chard with garlic, lemon juice, red pepper flakes and a tablespoon or two of Dijon. Sometimes a little agave or honey too. So delicious!!
Mary, I luv your channel, I learn so much! You're a classy lady with so much knowledge of food and old timey customs I truly enjoy all the information you share with us. You're like the auntie I never had, the one that knows all the cooking tricks, tips and makes the best food!! Thank u so much.

On the 14/2020 I made my first ever BK (organic beets). Due to the cold fermentation is slower. I tasted it in a couple of days and did not think I’d be a fan. Well as the saying goes ‘what a difference a day makes’! It just got better and better. I really had to think of you because yesterday, when I went to open it I got such a ‘greeting’, a big old whoosh! It is beginning to get that lovely fizziness too. The colour is such a luscious crimson and the earthiness mellows, the sweet raises just a bit and by the way, the oversalty taste calms way down too. I plan on making a gallons worth so there will be lots to gain character over time. I JUICED the leftover beets also delicious! You are such an inspiration. Bless you!

I’ve just made some. Beets don’t grow much in the Fiji islands but I found some organic ones today and couldn’t wait to try this out. I love fermented drinks and veggies. We ferment turmeric and ginger but this is my first time with beets. Thank you for your wonderful videos. I love them all. You’re amazing ❤️

Totally agree on not adding whey. When I make sauerkraut I always add some of the old sauerkraut juice to the new batch, to jump start the fermentation. One time I was out of sauerkraut juice and added whey. The sauerkraut fermented fine, but tasted like whey. Edible. But weird. No more whey for fermentation for me. Can't wait to try your Beet Kvass! Thanks.
God Bless you Mary! This worked wonders when I had ongoing stomach issues for months after not recovering properly from a stomach virus. I began downing quite huge quantities of this Kvass and homemade Sauerkraut, and within a week was completely better.
To the sweetest lady on UA-cam; thank you so much for all that you do! VERY instructional and educational and just an absolute joy to watch and listen to!! 🙏 I've just learned about Kvass and decided to see how it's done and you popped up, which was EXCELLENT because I already subscribe to your channel!! 👏 Keep up the amazing work and I'll be sure to share this video with my family members! Thx again....
I had to have course of antibiotics over Christmas. During a procedure the nurse kept asking if I was vaxxed (I'm not) and I didn't think to lie, so she really botched it on purpose. Ugh. So now I still have a wound and I am looking at ways to repatriate my microbiome. Thanks for this. Its another option. I've learned so much from you. ❤
Wow I love this! Just the other day I was wondering what I could do to incorporate beets into my diet! I’ve been told I have a fatty liver and beets were mentioned in a Dr.’s channel I watch for helping to heal a fatty liver! The problem with beets thought is there high sugar content, but with this recipe I would think the high sugar content would help the fermentation process and reduce the sugar and make it e very healthy way to use! I am extremely grateful fir all of your wonderful healthy recipes for daily living! You truly have been a God send to me Mary! Thank you so much! 💗❤️💗
Thanks so much Mary for the easy to follow beet kvass recipe. I just tried your recipe the other day and I put it on top of my frig while it ferments. It is so pretty, we can't wait to taste it. My husband & I are both into fermenting & have come to understand the benefits from fermentation. So in about 5 days I'll let you know how it turned out. So excited, thanks again. Rebecca
Hi Mary, I have been following you for quiet sometime now. Always love how you present your vid. Very detailed. I grow beets for beet kvass mostly because we love the effervescence. I will sometimes pour some into swing top bottles for few days before refrigerating it. It’ll give a popping sound when you start pouring it to drink, beware then😆 Just to add, sometimes you see some brown froth on top of your jar when fermenting, I just remove it with a clean spoon 🥄 and continue to ferment. We grow organically so I don’t peel my beets but I just clean it very well before slicing. Thanks for the recommendation of cloves & orange 🍊 peel, I will try it. Sounds so festive! Stay safe, Mary. God bless you & your family.🌸
Hello Mary! I’m a retired European trained (7 years) dermatologist from the Philippines) of Chinese ethnicity: or a Chinese Filipino! Thr Philippines was conquered for about 300 years by the Spaniards so our language has a lot of Spanish influence. I mention this as i wish to say you’re very SIMPATICA! It expresses your positive likability! Since you’re from central Texas your area should have some Spanish influence as well so you must know what i mean. Muchas gracias for your videos!
Mary, they sell bunches of 4, for about a buck a beet, never a sale. I should find a farmers market. The Latino market has non organic ones, but I don't ever see a price, it changes I think.I love them, my son Joe has tummy issues.They are great raw, your the best thing I found since he got sick and even if he didn't I've always been into health food, but slipped some. Thankyou so much for just being you Mary. Love Carol.
I have been gardening for many, many years ....... (ha ha) and in all this time I have decided to find a new way to preserve some of my beets. I came upon this video and I am anxiously awaiting my first batch of Kvass.
I live in India. I had never heard of kavaas. I came across your recipe for beetroot kvaas a year ago. Made it in the way you suggested 2% salt, weight etc and being in a tropical country had to put it in a cold dark place. It turned out to be the most fantastically tasty food I gave drunk/ eaten. Thereafter I fermented, in the same manner, number of fruits and vegetables including Apples, apple parings, cauliflower, Capsicum, onions, garlic and others; was tremendously successful and tasty. The cucumber remained so crisp and so did the carrots. Galic sweet. However the onions turned Mushy:; acidic and Mushy. Any advice? Thank you so much Mary it's because of you that I have learnt such delicious new food compatible with my palate. I enjoy both the remaining liquid and the fruits and vegetables. Today I made some more beet and also its parings in another bottle. Have added Mustard to the parings, lets see how it develops! Thank you again Sweetheart, much obliged.
I make several gallons of beet kvass at harvest time for my family to use through out the year. I'm going to use your ratio of salt and beets to see how we like it. Your info about pickling the beets so there is no waste is one I'll try. Currently we give the used beets to the goats and horses which they love, My mother used to make borsch and I think that would also be a good use for the used beets from kvass. Just started viewing your channel last week and will search for more goodies. Thanks Mary.
Hi Carol, Thanks for visiting. I would love to hear how you have been making your beet kvass. I bet it is delicious!! Oh yes, you will love pickling the beets! As to this version, if you find the brine a bit salty, you can leave the beets in the brine when you go to refrigerate it. Over a few weeks, the beets will absorb more of the brine and become more flavorful and the brine - the kvass - will have mellowed and be less salty. Then you can decant it with the spices and orange peel. It will be lovely!

Just bought 4 of your books four gifts and for myself. They are beautiful and love the spiral binding. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Its been so helpful during these most interesting times. God Bless you and your little family❤
Thank you so much! You educate so many of us. You take your time for us. Your knowledge...you could hide it under a bushel. But, NO! You let it shine. ❤️
I made some Mary and it came out great. I'm bottling it today on the 6th day. The liquid is "thick" and has a deep color and I really like the flavor. Good first time experience. Thanks so much for introducing this to me, as I've never even heard of it before.
Thank you for the lovely recipe! I decanned the beet kvass of 6 days. The taste is fantastic truly! It is bubbly. I had been wondering if it tastes weird. But it really has a very nice taste. I made it with only 1 last beetroot and 1 tea spoon of salt and boiled water. Thank you ^^
even better use baking soda. Wet your hands and sprinkle with a generous amount of baking soda and use like a skin scrub. Your hands will be clean. Baking soda also cleans beet stain off counter tops etc.
Great video! I specifically picked yours because I was wondering, “Some people use whey and others don’t… Do I need it?” You answered my question! Thanks!
Thanks for such a brilliant video, it’s great to learn this kind of thing from someone who has a real working experience. I made 2 litres a few weeks back and just started another batch today. I live in England and beetroots are in peak season right now (and cheap), so it’s great to make the most of them.

Mary's Nest Thank you, I am certainly enjoying some of your other videos, too. I think it’s extremely interesting seeing that fermenting is a way of preserving and that it is seen as traditional over in America. From what I’ve learnt previously, I believe that these traditional fermenting processes must have been taken over to America by Northern Europeans from everywhere on mainland Europe but not from The British Isles. I have been making traditional foods of all kinds for many years, and I can say with a high degree of certainty that there is not a tradition over here for lacto-fermentation. I wonder whether we put all our collective fermentation know how into beer making instead. I made pickled onions, beetroot and piccalilli for years, as well as a variety of chutneys, all with vinegar techniques. Malt vinegar being a by-product of beer making, that’s why I have my theory. Only very recently have I delved into fermenting foods, and have also made sauerkraut, it is really unheard of over here. I am very much looking forward to doing dill-pickles (I saw your video) next year when we grow some. I have done these other years when we’ve grown our own gherkins but, in vinegar, they were extremely overpowering. I will certainly be looking at your other videos which look very interesting, indeed. Can’t bring myself to submit to fb though.
I have also used the peal of veggies to make chips with beets you can make them savory or sweet. Toss with a little olive oil add salt and spices if you want them sweet a little sugar or honey. And bake until crispy. Yum. This is only if they are organic. Carrot peals work great too
I recently made beet kvass and loved it! Now I see that I really shorted myself though... I didn’t reuse or even eat the fermented beets! What time and money saver tip! Thank you! I love the earthy rich flavor, but I know some people don’t. I recently read you can add onions and cabbage to make a more palatable flavor. I thought that was interesting!
Hi Cynthia, So happy I was able to share a few money saving tips! I can't stand to waste anything!! Yes, there is so much you can do with Beet Kvass...I love leaving it to sit in my back fridge with a few cinnamon sticks and orange peels. It's a wonderful non-alcoholic holiday time aperitif or cordial. Please let me know what other sorts of fermented beverages you would like to see me make! I'm so glad you're here!! Love, Mary
I just want to say thank you and tell you how much I appreciate all of your teachings! Headed to the kitchen to make some of this right now! Love, light and blessings to you and your family. Stay safe Mary.

Peggy O'Connell - Hi Peggy!! Thank you so much! I’m so glad you find my videos helpful! Please let me know if there’s anything else you’d like to see me make. And if you have any questions please let me know. I’m so happy to help! And I’m so glad you’re here! It always makes me so happy to meet other people who are excited about making traditional “nutrient dense“ foods! Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
This is the loveliest video about Kvass :) started making it yesterday for the first time, today I started seeing bubbles (is it normal to get so excited about this or am I being silly)? I wasn't sure how much salt to put in 1 little water so I'm experimenting with two jars (1 tbsp in one, and 1 tsp in another)...can't wait to see and taste the results..thanks and much love! ❤️
Hi from South Africa 🇿🇦 thank you Mary. I so appreciate the details. Here in South Africa beet roots are cheap...lol one of the very few things. I've started making lots of things with my beets...smoothies, salads, raw and cooked...lol the raw one I maked gives the jaw a great workout. I need a quart jar first. God bless. Ciao
Thank you so much I am making bone broth in a slow cooker as we speak...and yes I will surely check out your many recipes. Your UA-cam video is awesome, keep up the good job of educating us. I appreciate every minute of it. 👍
First video I’ve seen from this channel - I appreciate the way you make sure to use each part of the plant and pay attention to trying not to waste. It’s beautiful!
Hello Mary, I enjoy watching your simple step-by-step videos on old, traditional, nutritious recipes, which have long been forgotten/out of circulation, for whatever reason. Thank you for sharing these "old is gold" (as the saying goes) recipes in a way that encourages one to try them out - you have a very soothing & encouraging voice too, which I think, may also be one of the reasons one would be encouraged to try the out, besides the simple step-by-step instructions. Where exactly in Texas are you located ? I ask because my son will soon be joining University in Texas. Also, what is commendable is that wastage is minimum - you always find use for the cut-outs !!

I was taught to make it by adding a bit of fermented sauerkraut juice or sauerkraut (which is what I do because I never have enough juice), maybe 100 ml juice or 100 grams kraut to a half gallon. It works really well as a starter for most any ferment and I like the flavor. I prefer less salt when I am drinking the kvass.
I'm watching this while drinking my first glass of Rye Kvass from my first batch! Always been a fan of beets (friends think I'm a weirdo), so when I heard you can do it with beets I was all over it.
Recently discovered this channel. It is a delight. Had no idea of the many products that can be made at home. Love beets, but never heard of beet kvass. Made it yesterday . Like the tip that it gets richer and sweeter the longer it ferments.

I love that you never leave any details out and intuitively answer questions about the veg “scraps” and what to do with them. Thanks to your teaching, Mary, I’ve made sauerkraut (2x), giardiniera, currently working preserved lemons and now going to do kvass. I actually follow along with you in real time😆

Thanks a lot. Your recipes are always easy, good and economical, ingredients are commonly available in middle class kitchens. That is the best part of your effort. Now please when I make the same thing with beets and black carrots, after some day of fermentation a white fog type material emerges on the top even all the vegetables are well sunk. Is that white material harmful or it hS no problem. Normally I have consumed it as it is I had no problem, apparently. Traditionally we add some black salt, red chilli, mustered seeds and small quantity of Carom seeds and few clove as well. We mix black carrots as well. If black carrots are not available you can use normal carrots. You must try this some time. We call this fermented syrup as " Kanji " check it at Google you will find different verifications for this recipe. Thanks a lot
Use a fermentation lid: Air lock or monostop style. This eliminates the need to burp..and lessens the likelihood of explosions. They are extremely affordable!
Thanks so much for sharing! Yes, those are wonderful!! Do you enjoy making other traditional foods? I have a playlist of my videos titled "Mastering the Basics of Traditional Real Foods Cooking".

One night I went to a bar and the most beautiful woman I've ever seen walked in. I was surprised when she agreed to go back to my place with me because I'm bald, have a big nose and am socially awkward. When I opened the door to my place we both saw the aftermath of a beet kvass jar that had exploded. She mistook it for the Texas chainsaw massacre and ran away. I yelled "just beet kvass" but I think she heard "just beat a$$." I went back to the bar from time to time hoping she would be there and I could explain but I never saw her again. Always use an airlock or you might regret it for the rest of your life.
Mary, you are a gem ♦️ Your pearls of wisdom are PRICELESS!!! Thanks for sharing. I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL ♥️ Could you please do a video on how to make Tepache. It's a fermented drink made with pineapple, cinnamon sticks, cloves, water and sugar 😋 I have also seen where raisins are used. ~ Blessings ~

Hello Mary, I love your videos and have made the chicken bone broth and LOVE IT - I actually CRAVE it in the morning !! AND, another thank you for the closed captions, as I can't hear too well and I can follow along with you (and your website with the ingredient and directional lists). I am new to putting up my own foods, so I have some questions: Q. Do you wash the fruits and vegetables before using them - whether organic or not; if so, what do you wash with? I have always used vinegar and water with only a drop of soap and rinsed thoroughly. Q: Do you sterilize the containers that you use? If so, any special method? Thank you for your videos, your are a blessing.
JJ VV - Hi JJ, Thanks so much for visiting and so glad you like my videos. Yes, I do wash my veggies. Usually with a bit of vinegar like you and a pinch of baking soda. And then rinse well. Yes, I do sterilize my jars. I put them in the dishwasher but you can also wash them in hot soapy water, rinse well, and let them air dry.

I love your tutorials. So precise and simple. I'm an experienced home canner and I have never heard of beet Klass. Since I love all things beets I'll be making this for sure. They are such wonderful blood cleansers and so high in Iron. My question is, could I use Himalayan course pink salt. I use it for all my other pickling preserves and it works fine. Also, once the fermentation is complete, could the jars be sealed to preserve the Kvass or would that affect the enzymes and possibly change the taste. I have limited fridge space to store the juice.
Looking forward to making this to add to my whole food based diet. I think it will help with my UC challenge. Thank you for the great videos you share with us!

Wow I love the ideas of using it as a vinegar substitute and a christmas drink! This is my first time making kvass and I am so glad to have found your channel when I looked up how to make it! You have amazing quality content! I’m so excited to try out all the recipes!😁
I absolutely LOVE your presentations! You are so informative and I subscribed to get more great videos from you. I don't (think) I like beets but am going to try this sine the radio is bombarded with beet supplements. Thanks for taking the time to do these videos!
Kelly Norris - Hi Kelly, Thank you SO much for visiting. And thank you so much for the kind words. You made my day!I am glad you will give beet kvass a try. It is so much more nutritious than any thing you could probably buy over the counter.

Hi Mary, I enjoy your channel. I like the fact that you explain the cooking process step by step. Oh, and your soft spoken voice is very soothing. Thank you so much.
I've always used a veg peeler on beets going from top to bottom (with the grain). Much easier and safer than a knife. As for the beet greens, my grandmother back in Europe would make a supper out of them with a sour cream and bacon bits dressing.

I add whey because my husband has to limit his sodium. I use 2 tsp coarse salt and 4 tbs whey, and we enjoy the taste but not everyone may. Donna’s recipes are excellent, and her DIY advice has helped me greatly.

today is the day!!!! also need to make a hibiscus vinegar (for my hair) and strain the mango vinegar... can't have too many ferments sit around since I have no counterspace :)
@@MarysNest update: after 2 days it was so bubbly that it clogged the little airhole in my pickle pipe and it started bulging. Opened it, took a bit of the foam off and tasted it, closed it again and will let it sit another day or so; taste wise not bad, but nothing special yet, thus at least one more day.
I MUST try this, since I love beets. As you were making the kvass, I wondered if I could add cloves, some allspice, and orange peel. Then you suggested two of those three. Mmm! I'll try that, also. You and Stacy (of Off Grid with Doug & Stacy) how to ferment, and I'm forever thankful.
Thanks for this video - I have just made this and am typing with pink fingers! :) I saw another video where they added just boiled water to the kvas. Do you have any thoughts on the difference in using boiled vs cold water? I am so enjoying fermenting - I think I have made every one of your ferments now!
Hi Shell, So happy to hear that you are enjoying making this! I would not recommend using boiling water because this is a ferment that likes to be around 68F-72F. So boiling water would not encourage the growth of good bacteria. Possibly worse. As it cooled off, it could actually encourage the growth of bad bacteria. So when it comes to ferments, stick with room temp water. Keep me posted on how it all turns out! Love, Mary
Good morning! I am new to making beat Kavas and this evening would’ve been day four of it’s sitting on my kitchen counter. I watched a video on a different channel about how to make it and somebody recommended a different channel, but I ended up on your page which that’s fine. I liked watching your video! I tasted it first thing after I skimmed the foam off this morning and the salt made my eyes pop wide-open! I’ve had a little breakfast and I’m re-tasting it. I’m getting ready to add a little seltzer water to it and maybe some sweetener but it actually does not taste bad by itself, I’m going to save your video. I like the idea of putting spices in it. I was reading the health benefits for our organs and our body overall. Hope this will help with an issue that I’m having.
This is a wonderful recipe and tutorial, thank you so much! Inspired, I just tried making my own, first batch of beet Kvass. It sat on my counter for about 5 days and turned a deep Burgundy colour, but I never really noticed bubbles. Did I do something wrong? Admittedly, I was a bit nervous about too much pressure building up, so I 'burped' it at least twice a day. Could that have ruined it? Is it possible to burp it too much? I noticed a thin layer of scum on top, not mold. I took it off and poured the liquid into another jar and put it in the fridge. I took a small test taste- it tasted salty (like salt water?). Also the beets floated to the top (but were still submerged) by the end of the 5 days. Wondering if this is normal too? Looking forward to trying again.
Thanks so much for visiting. And glad to hear that you are experimenting with Kvass. You did everything fine. The fermentation sill continues even if you burp the jar a lot.You are just letting out the build-up of carbon dioxide by the good bacteria. Your Kvass is fine. Yes, it will taste salty but needs time in the fridge to mellow. I generally like to let my Kvass mellow for 6 months. However, that said, if you leave the beets in it, they will absorb more of the salt and the taste will begin to mellow within a few weeks. Hope this helps.

Beet Kavas has a very earthy flavor..and sometimes that can be off putting...so.. Add some fresh ginger and apple to this mix. This will sweeten the final fermented juice up.
Thanks so much for visiting - - - and for sharing some great ideas for the Kvass!! Love the idea of ginger and apple!! I like to add citrus, cloves, cinnamon, ect and let it sit in my fridge for about 6 months and then serve it around Christmas time. It's delicious! So glad you're here!! Love, Mary
Hi Sweet Friends, Have you ever made Beet Kvass? I love it and find it a nice change of pace from Kombucha. Next, I look forward to making traditional Russian Kvass with Rye Bread. Has anyone tried that? I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences. And for another Beet Kvass video, be sure to check out Brad Makes Beet Kvass | It's Alive | Bon Appétit here: ua-cam.com/video/6OsLi9mHeQs/v-deo.html Love, Mary
Do you mean you are going to use the kvass in making the bread or vice versa? Or do you mean you like the idea of some rye bread with beet kvass?
Michele Michael* - Hi Michele, You actually just tear up some Rye bread and throw it into a jar with some salt and you let it ferment plus you add some cut up apples, some spices… It’s actual Russian Kvass. But you will laugh… The first time I made it I was following directions from a Russian friend who gave me the recipe. Oh heaven!! it was like the strongest bourbon tasting ferment I ever had!!! 😱😱😱I’ve already filmed the video where I talk about ferment problems but I will definitely do a follow-up and I think I should discuss Rye Kvass. Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
@@MarysNest That IS funny. :) Now that you mention this, I was gifted with lots of unique superfoods and odds and ends by a friend who is moving to another state, and one of them was an unopened jar of Polish "Sour Ryemeal." Its ingredients are only two: rye and water. I opened it and there were bubble depressions (like in a ferment) at the top! My friend thinks it is from an ancient sour starter begun hundreds of years ago. I don't know, but I added a couple tablespoons to my sourdough batter today. Am so curious how it may affect the taste of the bread! (Oh, and the ONLY thing I could find online for this Sour Ryemeal was SOUP recipes, LOL.)
@@WholeBibleBelieverWoman - Oh my goodness Michele - It's so funny that you say this. I was just reading an article about the sour ryemeal...and yes, it said that the Russians add it to soup!! They like it in Borscht!! How about that!! You will have to tell me how it tastes in the bread. I am so excited about this!! Love, Mary
@@MarysNest That IS funny -- because I certainly never heard of it before! When I researched it to try to figure out how to use it I found out that the Polish version of the soup is called "White Borscht" (but it doesn't have any beets in it, haha). I really couldn't taste it in the bread. My guess is that since it came from Poland and is not organic it was irradiated. I'm going to try to see if it will reactivate with a little bit of flour and water. If it doesn't I'll figure it got killed. If it convinces me it's alive, I may end up adding it to my starter (or a second jar of starter)!
Beet greens - YUM -- here is a tasty secret - if you like kale - make a pot of kale - after it is tender - then ADD YOUR BEET GREENS - amazingly the kale picks up the sweet rich flavor of the beet greens. So delish!
Thanks sooo much, lm learning so much & its exciting to learn about healthy foods at my age especially!!!
Mary dear.. We also make kvass & call it "Kaanji " water out hre in india, with carrots also with salt & + 2 tblspn lightly crushed whole black mustard seeds with skin, (& add drops of mustard oil) fr 5-7days on a warm shadey window sill. Stir it every 2- 3 days with wooden spoon till tangy then re fridgerate. One drinks this, a cup daily as it's a highly beneficial prebiotic health drink for our gut microbiome... the solid is used as a pickle or in salads, or sadwiches. Do try it once 👌💕👍💐
I love the earthy flavor of beets! I have been making beet kvass for a couple of years now. I only buy organic beets and definitely leave the skins on. I process them two times, and the second batch is just as wonderful as the first one. After that, I feed those beet pieces to my chickens and they go crazy for them.
Oh my God, woman......I love you!!!!
Not only do you teach us these fantastic, simple recipes, your voice is also very soothing! What a fantastic experience in my journey to becoming a decent home cook! THANKS!!

Mary, you’re probably the sweetest American lady cook I’ve ever seen on UA-cam! ❤️ I’m SO proud and happy I found you here!! I’d love to try both of your amazing recipes for the Sauerkraut and Beet Kvass.
You’re amazing with all your details n tips, and your sweet voice n humble personality. I’m SO proud that you’re from my state too, Texas! 🥰💪🏼✋🏼💝
Yeehah!
I remember my grandmother using a hot water bath in a pot on the stove to loosen the beet peel for about 2 -3 minutes. When you then plunge the beets into ice water for 30 seconds to a minute, the peels just rub off leaving all the beet behind to process. The beets aren't cooked at this point, this just loosens the peel.
Great tip!
Nope, it will kill most of the good bacterium and yeasts you Need for the fermentation.
No, a gentle two-three minute parboil is perfect. Won’t kill off the bacteria you need, beets are fibrous, takes a while to cook them.
This is not suitable for probiotics be we will kill the good bacteria by blanching the beets and putting them in cold water
I do that when I make beet pickles ! And my chocolate beet cake !
Really nice and simple.
I am from India and we too make something similar here with black carrots ( we get them here).
I add some red mustard seeds powder, and chilli powder along with salt and water and let it ferment for a week.
The taste is really good and tangy. We call it " kanji" in Hindi language.
You may try too!😊
Hi Renu, Thanks so much for visiting and glad you liked this video, Your "Kanji" sounds delicious. I would love to try it!!

Is it ok for acid reflux since it's tangy?
Plz help how to prevent white mould on the top🥺
@@petsnaturetv1690 it's EXCELLENT for acid reflux. The probiotics help to cure what's actually causing the reflux and the ph is well balanced for our bodies.
@@divyajami3182 the white mold scares me too, but I keep reading its perfectly okay. The better I keep my vegetables under the water theless I have of it. I also always start with some liquid from a previous ferment. It doesn't have the same vegetable. Where I live most stores carry fermented pickles and kraut by a label called Bubbies. If I've let my previous ferments "dry up," (I go thru phases and sometimes just don't have energy for ferments) then I buy some Bubbies and use their fluid to get my thing going. Anyway, I find that helps keep the white down. And I always take my clean jar before I start and wipe the whole inside with live vinegar. That helps keep it down. But I've stopped throwing my ferments away when it does form. I just scrape it off like they say. So far so good
I use my leftover beets with same amounts of carrots and apples for a salad ..yum!
Also.. love sautéed beet greens. Super good when sautéed with rainbow chard with garlic, lemon juice, red pepper flakes and a tablespoon or two of Dijon. Sometimes a little agave or honey too. So delicious!!

Me too. Can't wait to see how it turns out. You ARE a great teacher, Mary. I'm glad I found your channel. God bless you.
On the 14/2020 I made my first ever BK (organic beets). Due to the cold fermentation is slower. I tasted it in a couple of days and did not think I’d be a fan. Well as the saying goes ‘what a difference a day makes’! It just got better and better. I really had to think of you because yesterday, when I went to open it I got such a ‘greeting’, a big old whoosh! It is beginning to get that lovely fizziness too. The colour is such a luscious crimson and the earthiness mellows, the sweet raises just a bit and by the way, the oversalty taste calms way down too. I plan on making a gallons worth so there will be lots to gain character over time. I JUICED the leftover beets also delicious! You are such an inspiration. Bless you!

I have been depressed but I keep looking for inspiration..
I am eating MUCH better and feel better...
I LOVE BEETS...
THANK YOU, MARY!
I’ve just made some. Beets don’t grow much in the Fiji islands but I found some organic ones today and couldn’t wait to try this out. I love fermented drinks and veggies. We ferment turmeric and ginger but this is my first time with beets. Thank you for your wonderful videos. I love them all. You’re amazing ❤️

FYI, I add 2each jalapenos, I cut in half, what jalapenos does, it gives the drink a great kick taste
Totally agree on not adding whey. When I make sauerkraut I always add some of the old sauerkraut juice to the new batch, to jump start the fermentation. One time I was out of sauerkraut juice and added whey. The sauerkraut fermented fine, but tasted like whey. Edible. But weird. No more whey for fermentation for me. Can't wait to try your Beet Kvass! Thanks.
God Bless you Mary!
This worked wonders when I had ongoing stomach issues for months after not recovering properly from a stomach virus.
I began downing quite huge quantities of this Kvass and homemade Sauerkraut, and within a week was completely better.
To the sweetest lady on UA-cam; thank you so much for all that you do! VERY instructional and educational and just an absolute joy to watch and listen to!! 🙏 I've just learned about Kvass and decided to see how it's done and you popped up, which was EXCELLENT because I already subscribe to your channel!! 👏 Keep up the amazing work and I'll be sure to share this video with my family members! Thx again....
Wow!! Thank you for such kind words!! Love, Mary ❤️🤗❤️
I had to have course of antibiotics over Christmas. During a procedure the nurse kept asking if I was vaxxed (I'm not) and I didn't think to lie, so she really botched it on purpose. Ugh. So now I still have a wound and I am looking at ways to repatriate my microbiome. Thanks for this. Its another option. I've learned so much from you. ❤
Wow I love this! Just the other day I was wondering what I could do to incorporate beets into my diet! I’ve been told I have a fatty liver and beets were mentioned in a Dr.’s channel I watch for helping to heal a fatty liver! The problem with beets thought is there high sugar content, but with this recipe I would think the high sugar content would help the fermentation process and reduce the sugar and make it e very healthy way to use! I am extremely grateful fir all of your wonderful healthy recipes for daily living! You truly have been a God send to me Mary! Thank you so much! 💗❤️💗
Thanks so much Mary for the easy to follow beet kvass recipe. I just tried your recipe the other day and I put it on top of my frig while it ferments. It is so pretty, we can't wait to taste it. My husband & I are both into fermenting & have come to understand the benefits from fermentation. So in about 5 days I'll let you know how it turned out. So excited, thanks again. Rebecca
Thank you so much for the presentation of beet root
Hi Mary, I have been following you for quiet sometime now. Always love how you present your vid. Very detailed. I grow beets for beet kvass mostly because we love the effervescence. I will sometimes pour some into swing top bottles for few days before refrigerating it. It’ll give a popping sound when you start pouring it to drink, beware then😆
Just to add, sometimes you see some brown froth on top of your jar when fermenting, I just remove it with a clean spoon 🥄 and continue to ferment. We grow organically so I don’t peel my beets but I just clean it very well before slicing.
Thanks for the recommendation of cloves & orange 🍊 peel, I will try it. Sounds so festive!
Stay safe, Mary. God bless you & your family.🌸
Hello Mary! I’m a retired European trained (7 years) dermatologist from the Philippines) of Chinese ethnicity: or a Chinese Filipino! Thr Philippines was conquered for about 300 years by the Spaniards so our language has a lot of Spanish influence. I mention this as i wish to say you’re very SIMPATICA! It expresses your positive likability! Since you’re from central Texas your area should have some Spanish influence as well so you must know what i mean. Muchas gracias for your videos!
Clove and orange peel sounds wonderful!!!
Mary, they sell bunches of 4, for about a buck a beet, never a sale. I should find a farmers market. The Latino market has non organic ones, but I don't ever see a price, it changes I think.I love them, my son Joe has tummy issues.They are great raw, your the best thing I found since he got sick and even if he didn't I've always been into health food, but slipped some. Thankyou so much for just being you Mary. Love Carol.
Love Beet Kvass❤️ Sooo Healthy❗️ Thank You and God Bless You ❤️ I use my left over beet in my juicer with apple, celery, and lemon
Sounds wonderful! Thank you for the inspiration!! Love, Mary
I have been gardening for many, many years ....... (ha ha) and in all this time I have decided to find a new way to preserve some of my beets. I came upon this video and I am anxiously awaiting my first batch of Kvass.
after watching your pickled beets I remembered your beet kavas, I have beets growing this year and will try this.
Your simplicity and your sweet way , explaining
Is adorable .
Enjoying your style of educating, your love for what you do shines thru in every video, much love and appreciation for it. Great day to and for you.
Thank you SO much for the kind words! Love, Mary
I live in India. I had never heard of kavaas. I came across your recipe for beetroot kvaas a year ago. Made it in the way you suggested 2% salt, weight etc and being in a tropical country had to put it in a cold dark place. It turned out to be the most fantastically tasty food I gave drunk/ eaten. Thereafter I fermented, in the same manner, number of fruits and vegetables including Apples, apple parings, cauliflower, Capsicum, onions, garlic and others; was tremendously successful and tasty. The cucumber remained so crisp and so did the carrots. Galic sweet. However the onions turned Mushy:; acidic and Mushy. Any advice? Thank you so much Mary it's because of you that I have learnt such delicious new food compatible with my palate. I enjoy both the remaining liquid and the fruits and vegetables. Today I made some more beet and also its parings in another bottle. Have added Mustard to the parings, lets see how it develops! Thank you again Sweetheart, much obliged.
Thats Polish name kwas - make clear beet soup out of it.
I make several gallons of beet kvass at harvest time for my family to use through out the year. I'm going to use your ratio of salt and beets to see how we like it. Your info about pickling the beets so there is no waste is one I'll try. Currently we give the used beets to the goats and horses which they love, My mother used to make borsch and I think that would also be a good use for the used beets from kvass. Just started viewing your channel last week and will search for more goodies. Thanks Mary.
Hi Carol, Thanks for visiting. I would love to hear how you have been making your beet kvass. I bet it is delicious!! Oh yes, you will love pickling the beets! As to this version, if you find the brine a bit salty, you can leave the beets in the brine when you go to refrigerate it. Over a few weeks, the beets will absorb more of the brine and become more flavorful and the brine - the kvass - will have mellowed and be less salty. Then you can decant it with the spices and orange peel. It will be lovely!

Just bought 4 of your books four gifts and for myself. They are beautiful and love the spiral binding. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Its been so helpful during these most interesting times. God Bless you and your little family❤
Thank you so much! You educate so many of us. You take your time for us. Your knowledge...you could hide it under a bushel. But, NO! You let it shine. ❤️
I made some Mary and it came out great. I'm bottling it today on the 6th day. The liquid is "thick" and has a deep color and I really like the flavor. Good first time experience. Thanks so much for introducing this to me, as I've never even heard of it before.
Respect and best wishes from India madam. I love the minimum waste approach.
Thank you for the lovely recipe! I decanned the beet kvass of 6 days. The taste is fantastic truly! It is bubbly. I had been wondering if it tastes weird. But it really has a very nice taste. I made it with only 1 last beetroot and 1 tea spoon of salt and boiled water. Thank you ^^
If you get beet juice on your skin, use some salt as a scrub when washing, and most of the stain should lift! :)
even better use baking soda. Wet your hands and sprinkle with a generous amount of baking soda and use like a skin scrub. Your hands will be clean. Baking soda also cleans beet stain off counter tops etc.
Great video! I specifically picked yours because I was wondering, “Some people use whey and others don’t… Do I need it?” You answered my question! Thanks!
Thanks for such a brilliant video, it’s great to learn this kind of thing from someone who has a real working experience. I made 2 litres a few weeks back and just started another batch today. I live in England and beetroots are in peak season right now (and cheap), so it’s great to make the most of them.

I think it’s extremely interesting seeing that fermenting is a way of preserving and that it is seen as traditional over in America. From what I’ve learnt previously, I believe that these traditional fermenting processes must have been taken over to America by Northern Europeans from everywhere on mainland Europe but not from The British Isles.
I have been making traditional foods of all kinds for many years, and I can say with a high degree of certainty that there is not a tradition over here for lacto-fermentation. I wonder whether we put all our collective fermentation know how into beer making instead. I made pickled onions, beetroot and piccalilli for years, as well as a variety of chutneys, all with vinegar techniques. Malt vinegar being a by-product of beer making, that’s why I have my theory.
Only very recently have I delved into fermenting foods, and have also made sauerkraut, it is really unheard of over here. I am very much looking forward to doing dill-pickles (I saw your video) next year when we grow some. I have done these other years when we’ve grown our own gherkins but, in vinegar, they were extremely overpowering.
I will certainly be looking at your other videos which look very interesting, indeed. Can’t bring myself to submit to fb though.
Jayne J - Oh Jayne! Thank you SO much for sharing all this wonderful information! I really am so glad you’re here!! Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
I have also used the peal of veggies to make chips with beets you can make them savory or sweet. Toss with a little olive oil add salt and spices if you want them sweet a little sugar or honey. And bake until crispy. Yum. This is only if they are organic. Carrot peals work great too
I recently made beet kvass and loved it! Now I see that I really shorted myself though... I didn’t reuse or even eat the fermented beets! What time and money saver tip! Thank you! I love the earthy rich flavor, but I know some people don’t. I recently read you can add onions and cabbage to make a more palatable flavor. I thought that was interesting!
Hi Cynthia, So happy I was able to share a few money saving tips! I can't stand to waste anything!! Yes, there is so much you can do with Beet Kvass...I love leaving it to sit in my back fridge with a few cinnamon sticks and orange peels. It's a wonderful non-alcoholic holiday time aperitif or cordial. Please let me know what other sorts of fermented beverages you would like to see me make! I'm so glad you're here!! Love, Mary
I wish I had grown up with someone like you in my life! Thank you so much for the information & education that you share with all of us.

SO glad to hear that you like this idea. It's delicious!! Love, Mary
I love beet Kvass....such a powerful probiotic. I find it so easy to use my potato peeler.
Yep same here
Love beets, we eat them all the time very good for you.
Whippoorwill Holler - Hi Lori...us too!! They are delicious!! Thanks so much for visiting and commenting!! Love, Mary ❤️😘❤️

I just made my first half gallon of beet kvass--thank you, Mary! I'm very much looking forward to trying it, as I love beets.
This is the loveliest video about Kvass :) started making it yesterday for the first time, today I started seeing bubbles (is it normal to get so excited about this or am I being silly)? I wasn't sure how much salt to put in 1 little water so I'm experimenting with two jars (1 tbsp in one, and 1 tsp in another)...can't wait to see and taste the results..thanks and much love! ❤️
Hi from South Africa 🇿🇦 thank you Mary. I so appreciate the details. Here in South Africa beet roots are cheap...lol one of the very few things. I've started making lots of things with my beets...smoothies, salads, raw and cooked...lol the raw one I maked gives the jaw a great workout. I need a quart jar first. God bless. Ciao
Thank you so much I am making bone broth in a slow cooker as we speak...and yes I will surely check out your many recipes. Your UA-cam video is awesome, keep up the good job of educating us. I appreciate every minute of it. 👍
Scarpion Girl - Thank you SO much for the kind words!! Keep me posted on how everything turns out. And I’m always here to help!! Love, Mary🤗🤗🤗
First video I’ve seen from this channel - I appreciate the way you make sure to use each part of the plant and pay attention to trying not to waste. It’s beautiful!
Hello Mary, I enjoy watching your simple step-by-step videos on old, traditional, nutritious recipes, which have long been forgotten/out of circulation, for whatever reason. Thank you for sharing these "old is gold" (as the saying goes) recipes in a way that encourages one to try them out - you have a very soothing & encouraging voice too, which I think, may also be one of the reasons one would be encouraged to try the out, besides the simple step-by-step instructions. Where exactly in Texas are you located ? I ask because my son will soon be joining University in Texas. Also, what is commendable is that wastage is minimum - you always find use for the cut-outs !!
Dear Mary, I watched several videos on the process and yours was really very instructive and easy to understand. Thanks!
Thank you for all the effort and the information you put into all your videos, you are lovely.

I was taught to make it by adding a bit of fermented sauerkraut juice or sauerkraut (which is what I do because I never have enough juice), maybe 100 ml juice or 100 grams kraut to a half gallon. It works really well as a starter for most any ferment and I like the flavor. I prefer less salt when I am drinking the kvass.
I'm watching this while drinking my first glass of Rye Kvass from my first batch! Always been a fan of beets (friends think I'm a weirdo), so when I heard you can do it with beets I was all over it.
Recently discovered this channel. It is a delight. Had no idea of the many products that can be made at home. Love beets, but never heard of beet kvass. Made it yesterday . Like the tip that it gets richer and sweeter the longer it ferments.

Thanks a lot. Your recipes are always easy, good and economical, ingredients are commonly available in middle class kitchens. That is the best part of your effort.
Now please when I make the same thing with beets and black carrots, after some day of fermentation a white fog type material emerges on the top even all the vegetables are well sunk. Is that white material harmful or it hS no problem. Normally I have consumed it as it is I had no problem, apparently. Traditionally we add some black salt, red chilli, mustered seeds and small quantity of Carom seeds and few clove as well. We mix black carrots as well. If black carrots are not available you can use normal carrots. You must try this some time.
We call this fermented syrup as " Kanji " check it at Google you will find different verifications for this recipe.
Thanks a lot
Thanks for your teachings.
Use a fermentation lid: Air lock or monostop style. This eliminates the need to burp..and lessens the likelihood of explosions. They are extremely affordable!

I was surprised when she agreed to go back to my place with me because I'm bald, have a big nose and am socially awkward. When I opened the door to my place we both saw the aftermath of a beet kvass jar that had exploded. She mistook it for the Texas chainsaw massacre and ran away. I yelled "just beet kvass" but I think she heard "just beat a$$." I went back to the bar from time to time hoping she would be there and I could explain but I never saw her again. Always use an airlock or you might regret it for the rest of your life.
I'm going to make it right now for the very first time! Thank you so much for my instructions.
Mary, you are a gem ♦️
Your pearls of wisdom are PRICELESS!!!
Thanks for sharing.
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL ♥️
Could you please do a video on how to make
Tepache.
It's a fermented drink made with pineapple, cinnamon sticks, cloves, water and sugar 😋
I have also seen where raisins are used.

I've been looking for something like this for the gut health..thank you
Hello Mary, I love your videos and have made the chicken bone broth and LOVE IT - I actually CRAVE it in the morning !! AND, another thank you for the closed captions, as I can't hear too well and I can follow along with you (and your website with the ingredient and directional lists).
I am new to putting up my own foods, so I have some questions:
Q. Do you wash the fruits and vegetables before using them - whether organic or not; if so, what do you wash with? I have always used vinegar and water with only a drop of soap and rinsed thoroughly.
Q: Do you sterilize the containers that you use? If so, any special method?
Thank you for your videos, your are a blessing.
JJ VV - Hi JJ, Thanks so much for visiting and so glad you like my videos. Yes, I do wash my veggies. Usually with a bit of vinegar like you and a pinch of baking soda. And then rinse well. Yes, I do sterilize my jars. I put them in the dishwasher but you can also wash them in hot soapy water, rinse well, and let them air dry. Have you had a chance to watch my playlist "Mastering the Basics of Traditional Nutrient Dense Foods Cooking". It's a series of 15 detailed videos that covers How to Make Bone Broth, Cultured Dairy, Ferments, Sourdough Starter (my foolproof stater), Sourdough Bread, and How to Soak and Sprout Grains to Make your own Sprouted Flour at Home.

Listened from Philippines !
I love your tutorials. So precise and simple. I'm an experienced home canner and I have never heard of beet Klass. Since I love all things beets I'll be making this for sure. They are such wonderful blood cleansers and so high in Iron. My question is, could I use Himalayan course pink salt. I use it for all my other pickling preserves and it works fine. Also, once the fermentation is complete, could the jars be sealed to preserve the Kvass or would that affect the enzymes and possibly change the taste. I have limited fridge space to store the juice.
Sounds yummy. I'll be wearing gloves and apron, no doubt. Thanks for another awesome adventure!
Ppl
Thank you so much , I made it today according to your step by step instructions ❤❤❤
Looking forward to making this to add to my whole food based diet. I think it will help with my UC challenge. Thank you for the great videos you share with us!
Mary dear...wonderful recipe....thank you so much for teaching!
Such a warm person you are ...thoroughly enjoyed the video...and no doubts at all to make Kvass........Best wishes to you

Wow I love the ideas of using it as a vinegar substitute and a christmas drink! This is my first time making kvass and I am so glad to have found your channel when I looked up how to make it! You have amazing quality content! I’m so excited to try out all the recipes!😁
I absolutely LOVE your presentations! You are so informative and I subscribed to get more great videos from you. I don't (think) I like beets but am going to try this sine the radio is bombarded with beet supplements. Thanks for taking the time to do these videos!
Kelly Norris - Hi Kelly, Thank you SO much for visiting. And thank you so much for the kind words. You made my day!I am glad you will give beet kvass a try. It is so much more nutritious than any thing you could probably buy over the counter.

Hi Mary, I enjoy your channel. I like the fact that you explain the cooking process step by step. Oh, and your soft spoken voice is very soothing. Thank you so much.
I've always used a veg peeler on beets going from top to bottom (with the grain). Much easier and safer than a knife. As for the beet greens, my grandmother back in Europe would make a supper out of them with a sour cream and bacon bits dressing.
Cdngardengirl - Thanks so much for visiting and thanks for the tip excellent that’s a great idea. And your grandmother’s meal sounds delicious! Thanks so much for being here. Love, Mary❤️😘❤️

I add whey because my husband has to limit his sodium. I use 2 tsp coarse salt and 4 tbs whey, and we enjoy the taste but not everyone may. Donna’s recipes are excellent, and her DIY advice has helped me greatly.

today is the day!!!! also need to make a hibiscus vinegar (for my hair) and strain the mango vinegar... can't have too many ferments sit around since I have no counterspace :)
Wonderful! Keep me posted! Love, Mary
@@MarysNest update: after 2 days it was so bubbly that it clogged the little airhole in my pickle pipe and it started bulging. Opened it, took a bit of the foam off and tasted it, closed it again and will let it sit another day or so; taste wise not bad, but nothing special yet, thus at least one more day.
I MUST try this, since I love beets. As you were making the kvass, I wondered if I could add cloves, some allspice, and orange peel. Then you suggested two of those three. Mmm! I'll try that, also. You and Stacy (of Off Grid with Doug & Stacy) how to ferment, and I'm forever thankful.
Beautiful color!
Hi Vickie!! Thanks so much for visiting and commenting!! Your encouragement means so much to me!! Love, Mary
That's wonderful. I'm going to try this today ❤❤
Thanks for this video - I have just made this and am typing with pink fingers! :) I saw another video where they added just boiled water to the kvas. Do you have any thoughts on the difference in using boiled vs cold water? I am so enjoying fermenting - I think I have made every one of your ferments now!
Hi Shell, So happy to hear that you are enjoying making this! I would not recommend using boiling water because this is a ferment that likes to be around 68F-72F. So boiling water would not encourage the growth of good bacteria. Possibly worse. As it cooled off, it could actually encourage the growth of bad bacteria. So when it comes to ferments, stick with room temp water. Keep me posted on how it all turns out! Love, Mary
Good morning! I am new to making beat Kavas and this evening would’ve been day four of it’s sitting on my kitchen counter. I watched a video on a different channel about how to make it and somebody recommended a different channel, but I ended up on your page which that’s fine. I liked watching your video! I tasted it first thing after I skimmed the foam off this morning and the salt made my eyes pop wide-open! I’ve had a little breakfast and I’m re-tasting it. I’m getting ready to add a little seltzer water to it and maybe some sweetener but it actually does not taste bad by itself, I’m going to save your video. I like the idea of putting spices in it. I was reading the health benefits for our organs and our body overall. Hope this will help with an issue that I’m having.
I use a potato peeler to peel beets.
I have made apple cider vinegar first time in my life and it came out perfectly..! Now im going to make this recipe soon..!!
Kvass in Russian means Fermentation. You can use any veggies to make a kvass.
Yoiu are great Mary l like how you teach thank you very much for the Imfo
This is a wonderful recipe and tutorial, thank you so much! Inspired, I just tried making my own, first batch of beet Kvass. It sat on my counter for about 5 days and turned a deep Burgundy colour, but I never really noticed bubbles. Did I do something wrong? Admittedly, I was a bit nervous about too much pressure building up, so I 'burped' it at least twice a day. Could that have ruined it? Is it possible to burp it too much? I noticed a thin layer of scum on top, not mold. I took it off and poured the liquid into another jar and put it in the fridge. I took a small test taste- it tasted salty (like salt water?). Also the beets floated to the top (but were still submerged) by the end of the 5 days. Wondering if this is normal too? Looking forward to trying again.
Thanks so much for visiting. And glad to hear that you are experimenting with Kvass. You did everything fine. The fermentation sill continues even if you burp the jar a lot.You are just letting out the build-up of carbon dioxide by the good bacteria. Your Kvass is fine. Yes, it will taste salty but needs time in the fridge to mellow. I generally like to let my Kvass mellow for 6 months. However, that said, if you leave the beets in it, they will absorb more of the salt and the taste will begin to mellow within a few weeks. Hope this helps.
BTW - Do you enjoy learning about making other traditional foods? If so, I have a playlist of some of my videos titled "Mastering the Basics of Traditional Nutrient Dense Foods Cooking". It's a series of 15 detailed videos that covers How to Make Bone Broth, Cultured Dairy, Ferments, Sourdough Starter (my foolproof stater), Sourdough Bread, Soaked and Sprouted Nuts and Beans, and How to Soak and Sprout Grains to Make your own Sprouted Flour at Home. You can watch it here: ua-cam.com/play/PLkRuW3pBo2U3b4eu0QraZReKlGzA11h3y.html And please share the playlist with any other folks you think might be interested in learning about these types of things. I’m passionate about the book Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon (of the Weston A Price Foundation) and want to help as many people as I can learn how to make Traditional “Nutrient Dense” Foods.

Thank you Mary. Am really learning
Beet Kavas has a very earthy flavor..and sometimes that can be off putting...so.. Add some fresh ginger and apple to this mix. This will sweeten the final fermented juice up.
Thanks so much for visiting - - - and for sharing some great ideas for the Kvass!! Love the idea of ginger and apple!! I like to add citrus, cloves, cinnamon, ect and let it sit in my fridge for about 6 months and then serve it around Christmas time. It's delicious! So glad you're here!! Love, Mary
O this is wonderful...thank you love the way you explain the process of Beet Khavass..❤
