To burn it off
Kvass is a drink made by fermenting rye bread or rye malt with water, sugar and yeast. It tastes a bit like a sweet, light beer and a bit like bread. It is drunk all over Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and the Baltics, mostly in summer.
Half a litre is 135 kcal, almost all of it from the 33 g of carbs. There is about 1 g of protein and no fat.
It has a trace of alcohol from the fermenting, but far less than beer. Most of it is sugar, so it counts like a soft drink.
Tips
- 1Have a glass, not the whole bottle.
- 2Mix it with cold water or sparkling water on a hot day.
- 3Use it for okroshka, the cold summer soup, and it becomes a meal.
