I do love a good kombucha from time to time, but let’s break down exactly what kombucha is. ⠀ ⠀ Kombucha is made from adding white sugar to brewed tea and introducing a SCOBY aka Symbiotic Colony of Bacteria and Yeast until it ferments into a bubbly, living, acidic beverage. ⠀ ⠀ While product marketing highlights the benefits here’s three things most people don’t realize about kombucha: ⠀ ⠀ 1) That slight sweetness is residual white sugar. ⠀ ⠀ 2) Although it does contain probiotics, much of the fermentation is done by yeast resulting in gas and trace amounts of alcohol. ⠀ ⠀ 3) That bubbly pressure in the bottle creates that bubbly pressure in the belly. ⠀ ⠀ Food for thought if you’re drinking kombucha for gut health. ⠀ The healthiest and most affordable way to get probiotics is through fermented vegetables. You can download a guide on fermentation through the link in my bio. ⠀ Do you drink kombucha?
