3 Delicious Fermented Autumn Juices with kombucha

As the leaves start to change and the air gets cooler, we often find ourselves craving comforting, seasonal flavours.

While the fall season typically brings to mind images of hot drinks and pumpkin-spiced treats, there's a refreshingly different way to embrace the autumn spirit: by adding kombucha to your fall juices.

Kombucha, a fermented tea beverage, offers plenty of benefits that make it an excellent addition to your autumn drinks. Here are some reasons why you should think about adding kombucha to your seasonal beverages:

1. Digestive-Friendly Drink: Kombucha contains live cultures that can help maintain a healthy gut. A healthy gut is crucial for overall well-being, and kombucha is a tasty way to support it.

2. Natural Refreshment: Autumn is a time for cozy moments and hearty meals. Kombucha provides a lighter, refreshing option for those times when you want to cleanse your palate or complement your fall dishes. Its tangy and slightly bubbly nature can cut through the richness of autumn flavours, providing a burst of freshness.

3. Low in Sugar: Many fall-inspired drinks are loaded with excess sugar, which can lead to energy dips and unwanted weight gain. Kombucha, on the other hand, is naturally low in sugar. By mixing it with your juices, you can enjoy the sweetness of the season without overloading on sugar.

4. Versatile Mixer: Kombucha is a versatile ingredient that pairs nicely with a variety of fruits, herbs, and spices. Ragi's autumn-flavoured kombuchas like Carrot & Ginger kombucha, Pumpkin & Coriander Seeds kombucha, or Plum kombucha go great with seasonal fruits and veggies.

5. Immune System Assistance: Autumn often brings sniffles and sneezes as the colder weather settles in. Our Carrot-ginger, pumpkin-coriander, or plum autumn kombucha contain antioxidants that can help support your immune system during this time.
