That's something I heard often about but it is unknown in Italy. I believe it's main value, besides fibers, is the probiotic bacteria, since it's fermented vegetables.

Hi Mccoy,

Fermentation is an interesting concept. I think the probiotic cultures are the same in Kombucha.

Red, kombucha as well is not too popular in Italy, at least I've never tried it, whereas I know better the milk culutures like yogurt and kefir. I've been making my kefir for a while now and it's exceptionally good. I recently tried soymilk kefir but it turns out pretty revolting, maybe I need to use the specific starter for water kefir.

Kefir fermentation appears to yield the vitamin K2, which yogurt does not contain
