What else you can learn about Kombucha
1. Kombucha Shelf Life
Genuine unpasteurized kombucha has a shelf life of about 3 to 9 months. After bottling, the complete fermentation process does not stop immediately. The tea drink should therefore be stored as cool and dark as possible. The best place for this is in the refrigerator or in a cool room. Here it is not exposed to external influences and can be stored protected from sun and heat. Kombucha that is not stored cool will not go bad. It will only become sourer in taste and develop more natural carbonation.
2. Kombucha as a Vinegar Substitute
Kombucha that you accidentally fermented for too long at home can be used as a delicious vinegar substitute. It will then have a similar taste to apple cider vinegar.
3. How much alcohol is in kombucha?
The duration and type of fermentation not only affect the taste but also the alcohol content. Kombucha can contain up to 3% alcohol. However, it is usually less. After 14 days of fermentation, the alcohol content is between 0.5 and 1%. According to German food law, a drink may be labeled as "alcohol-free" if it has a maximum of 0.5% alcohol. KOMBUCHERY kombucha usually contains no more than 0.5% alcohol.
4. Kombucha for pregnant women?
Due to the low alcohol content, pregnant and breastfeeding women should play it safe and not drink kombucha.
5. Kombucha for the immune system
It's hard to believe, but GALT is located in the intestinal mucosa and is the largest collection of important defense cells in our body. About 70% of immune cells live here, which stimulate the production of various defense cells and at the same time manage to distinguish between "good" and "bad" substances and allow important nutrients to pass through. The intestine is much more than our daily helper in digesting the food we consume. It helps the brain with immune defense and nourishes the brain with a lot of important information. It is all the more important to support the intestine through nutrition and to give it a little help, for example, with regular kombucha consumption.
6. Kombucha Ingredients
Just one bottle can contain various amino acids, succinic acid, butyric acid, enzymes, acetic acid, gluconic acid, glucaric acid, catechins and other polyphenols, B vitamins, live lactic acid bacteria. No wonder we always talk about the healthy alternative to conventional soft drinks.
