I am not sure if that's the way to spell it. But I saw a post on someone's blog last week and now can't find it. I looked it up in Nourishing Traditions and it's got the same ingredients but she calls it just pickled beets, I think. So has anyone made this? I got some good organic beets and some fresh whey from my friend. I want to try it. I will have to do it tomorrow. Just wondering if anyone has made it and what ya think of it?
I am roasting the beets right now. They have a few more minutes to go. Then I will jullienne them and put in a jar. I'll add water, whey and some salt then refridgerate for a few weeks.
I also just cut up the leaves, put them in a jar added salt water and put them in the fridge. The water is supposed to be full of good stuff. Just add a little to a glass of water and drink.
I will be growing lots of beets this year again. I will probably can as many as I can. They are so good for you.
Never made kvass, but I am intrigued at the twist of making it with beets. It usually is made from stale rye bread.....kind of hard to think of it as the same thing lol.

I only got 6 beets. So I only got a pint. But I tasted some and had to make myself stop. They were so good. It seems like in Wild Fermintation he adds bread to his. I'll have to go look. I wish I could remember where I saw this blog about the beet kvass. I am really bad anout that. I read so much then forget.
I plan to make kvass when I harvest the beets from my garden. I do remember reading somewhere that it can be made with bread, which sounds odd .... beets or bread? Like you Kristin, I read so much I often can't remember where I read something ;) !
This stuff is so good. The juice is thick now. Now very sour though. I'll give it a few more days on the counter than it calls for. But it is good.
Has anyone ever tried kimchi? I made some last year. It's spicy. You can make it really hot with hot peppers. But the one I made I didn't put any in. I did use ginger and it seemed like every bite I would get some ginger. I am going to try some more when I start getting fresh veggies again.
Beet Kvass?
