Off Grid Fermenting: Crafting Beet Kvass & Sourdough Bun Baking | Alaska Homestead Kitchen Ep.4

This week we crafted up a batch of probiotic rich Beet Kvass, a traditional way of preserving the harvest and increasing health benefits! We love making lacto-fermented foods, and beet kvass is one of the ways we like to use the beets from the garden. You can drink the brine (kvass) for a nutrient rich, gut supporting & cleansing tonic, or just eat the beets! We tried our new batch of beets paired with sausages and delicious sourdough hot dog buns, cooked over the fire! Thank you for following along on our homestead on the last frontier! -Dennis, Amy & Lena filmed at our cabin on the fringes of the wilderness HOMESTEAD RECIPES BEET KVASS 4-5 beets, chopped and washed (1/2' pieces) 1 tbsp salt/quart hunk ginger, garlic optional 1.
