Why reach for pickles?

1. It's a simple way to get more vegetables and their valuable ingredients into your diet. The pickling process makes the nutrients of raw vegetables better absorbed and assimilated.
2. You have access to vegetables all year round, even in autumn and winter. Pickles are a lifesaver when the vegetable stores are empty. On top of that, they are more valuable than frozen or canned vegetables. And they taste much better too!
3. A component of a diabetic diet. As a result of pickling, the amount of sugar in the vegetables is reduced, which is consumed by the bacteria responsible for fermentation. Pickled vegetables therefore have a lower glycaemic index than raw vegetables. In addition, according to research, eating beetroot has a positive effect on the health of people with diabetes.
4. Part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. In addition to drinking beetroot sourdough, it is important to have a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
5. Long shelf life without preservatives. Pickling, which is one of the oldest ways of preserving food, allows you to enjoy sourdoughs for a long time. In addition, it does not destroy their nutritional value.
6. Source of probiotics. The representatives of the lactic fermentation bacteria which produce sourdough are probiotics, i.e. bacteria which have a positive effect on the human organism. They are part of the intestinal microbiota and support the work of this area.

Properties: 

When drinking this sourdough, the bubbles will tickle your tongue and gently shoot up your nose as it is slightly effervescent. Its gassiness or turbidity are natural phenomena, typical of products that develop during fermentation.

This 'live' beetroot sourdough is worth including in a diabetic diet. It is a product with a low glycaemic index and contains naturally occurring sugars.

The Medical University of Lodz has shown that it contains live cultures of the probiotic bacteria Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium (2.7 x 10⁵ CFU/ml), which have a positive effect on the human body. They are part of the intestinal microbiota and support the function of this area.

Application: 

Beetroot sourdough can be drunk with dinner, for example. Some prefer to do it in the morning, on an empty stomach. Others - in the evening, before going to bed. 

Beetroot sourdough can also be used to make soups. It gives them a slightly sour taste, an appetising colour and an amazing aroma. You can use it to make a cooler, ideal for hot days, or red borscht for the holidays.

Use unpasteurised beetroot sourdough cold - high temperatures destroy its properties.
