Kombucha

Kombucha is a lightly effervescent, fermented tea drink enjoyed worldwide for its tangy flavor and refreshing fizz. It originated from traditional fermented tea preparations in East Asia and is commonly consumed as a low-calorie alternative to sugary soft drinks or alcoholic beverages. Nutritionally, Kombucha is very low in energy at 17kcal per 100g and contains minimal macronutrients — it is not a meaningful source of protein, fiber or fat. It can provide small amounts of minerals like manganese and magnesium and tiny amounts of vitamin K, but most of its appeal comes from the flavor and the fermentation process rather than dense nutrition. As a fermented beverage, Kombucha may contain live cultures and tea-derived antioxidants that contribute to its refreshing character, but it should not be relied on as a source of essential nutrients. Also be mindful that some commercial varieties contain added sugars or higher alcohol levels from fermentation, so check labels if you are avoiding those.
