kombucha

Domaća kombucha - sekundarna fermentacija s prirodnim sokovima višnje, maline, crnog ribiza i jabuke. Inače mi je stan uvijek pun razne fermentirajuće hrane, od kiselog kupusa, kimchija, kiselog tijesta do vodenog kefira, kombuche i octa. Osim što je zabavno pratiti proces fermentacije i doslovno uzgajati život u staklenci, fermentirana hrana bogata je probiotskim mikroorganizmima koji doprinose zdravlju našeg probavnog sustava, a time i cjelokupnom zdravlju organizma.

/ Homemade kombucha - second fermentation was done with raspberry, black currant, cherry and apple juices. Not seasonal but it was so flavourful I couldn't resist! There are always so many things fermenting all around my place. From kimchi, sauerkraut and sourdough to water kefir, kombucha and vinegar. My sister recently gave me a new kombucha SCOBY to help me fulfill my fermentationist dreams in Croatia again...
Besides fermentation being a fun process to watch (and that joy of literally creating new life in a jar), fermented foods are full of beneficial microorganisms that help us improve gut health, which is a good way to keep a healthy immune system and generally a nicely functioning body.
