The gut seems to be the next hot topic, with prebiotics, probiotics, and gut health as innocuous as talk about the weather.
I thought I was up to date on probiotic-packed fermented products, but it turns out I was missing one very old, and very important tonic: beet kvass. I was first introduced to this powerful beverage sometime last year, when a stall at the local farmer’s market I frequent suggested I try their homemade kvass.
