Doctors recommend drinking oat kvass with general weakness, sleep problems, and frequent overwork.

Harm and contraindications

The use is contraindicated in people with gastritis, ulcers, colitis, various liver diseases.

It is worth mentioning separately about the high nutritional value (calorie content) of tasty and fragrant kvass (

about 300 kilocalories per 100 ml

) People suffering from excess weight should not abuse it and saturate the body with additional carbohydrates (albeit difficult), which, due to the nutritional value of oatmeal and sugar content, is a huge amount (about 70 grams per 100 ml of product).

Useful Tips

From the fabric to the water in the jar, it is necessary to maintain a distance of 4-5 cm.
For a more thorough filtering, use multilayer gauze.
Sugar in kvass, if desired, is replaced by honey (2: 1 ratio, that is, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar accounts for 1 tablespoon of honey).
When fermenting, oats "walks" around the bank. Part of the flakes floats, another remains at the bottom, the third - in general, is in a state of weightlessness. This is a natural process. Do not be surprised when cooking and consider when transfusing.

Oat kvass is an excellent natural product, invigorating and refreshing. A drink made at home can not be compared with a purchased one (for example, phyto-kvass based on oatmeal) with different preservatives and an extended shelf life.
