How To Make Beet Kvass – A Healing Tonic!

Beet Kvass is a natural fermented beverage that is full of nutrients. It’s known for its cleansing and healing qualities and also aids in digestion.

A few years ago I gave my mother the book Nourishing Traditions.  My hope was that my mother would open up this book and read it.

It took her over a year and a half to open up the book and look at it. She called me to ask me about a tonic called Beet Kvass. I told her the recipe was in the book I gave her :). She was interesting in beet kvass because a friend had told her about it. My mother and her friend made a batch of beek kvass and began to drink the kvass daily. My mother started to feel healthier and experienced better energy.

A Healing Testimony

After just a few weeks of drinking beet kvass, a wart my mother had for over 30 years vanished! The wart was on her foot and was something she always worried might be cancerous. The only thing that she had changed in her diet was drinking the beet kvass. Obviously no one can know for sure if beet kvass made the difference, but I like to think it did.

Beet Kvass: A Cleansing Tonic

Beet kvass is a tonic that cleanses the blood and helps detoxify the  liver. As a fermented drink, it also aids in digestion. It is rich in B-complex vitamins such as niacin, pantothenic acid, pyridoxine and minerals such as iron, manganese, copper, potassium and magnesium. If you’re looking for other healthy drinks, I’d recommend turmeric shots or apple cider vinegar drinks.

Beet Kvass Ingredients

In addition to beet kvass’ health benefits, it’s also simple to make – comprising just four ingredients (one of which is filtered water):

• 1 Vegetable Culture Packet or 1/4 Cup Whey
• 4 organic beets
• 1 1/2 tablespoons salt
• filtered water

And that’s it!

How to Make Beet Kvass

Like I said, simple to make. You need to start by washing the beets to ensure you get all the dirt off. (No need to peel them.) Then:

1. Cut the beets into large chunks.
2. Place them in a mason jar.
3. Add the starter culture (or whey if using) and salt.
4. Fill the jar with filtered water. Make sure to leave an inch of space between the top of the water and the lid. Use an airlock for best results.
5. Cover tightly with lid and place in a warm spot in your home.
6. Allow the beet kvass to ferment for 1 week.

And then – drink up! It’s good for you.
