Bread kvass is a drink produced through the alcoholic fermentation of bread with added sugar or fruits and yeast. It has been a popular way to quench thirst for years, but scientists have recently highlighted its rich nutritional properties. It truly supports our health and is worth incorporating into our daily routines.

Bread kvass is a natural probiotic full of beneficial bacteria cultures that support a healthy gut microbiome.

It contains B vitamins and vitamin C, as well as numerous minerals, such as selenium, which is important for proper thyroid function, and zinc, which positively affects hair and nail health. What other benefits does Bread Kvass offer?

Support for the intestinal microbiota - Probiotics present in bread kvass can restore bacterial balance in the intestines and even support the nervous system.

Support for digestion - Enzymes produced during fermentation help with digestion and can alleviate digestive issues.

Detoxification - Another advantage of bread kvass is that it helps the liver cleanse the body of toxins.

Improvement of immunity - Probiotics contained in bread kvass support the gut microbiome, thereby strengthening our immunity. Additionally, vitamin C amplifies this effect.

Beneficial effect on the circulatory system - Bread kvass has a positive effect on the lipid profile and helps lower blood pressure.

Positive effects have also been noted in the therapy of migraines, muscle pain, diabetes, fungal infections, digestive problems, some cancers, and multiple sclerosis.

How to consume kvass

If you have never tried bread kvass before, it’s worth starting with small portions and gradually increasing them to see how your body reacts and to get used to its specific taste and health benefits.

It’s best to store bread kvass in a cool place, like a refrigerator, to maintain all the probiotic properties. However, remember that bread kvass has a short shelf life—up to four days.
