Three days of fermentation. One glass of gut gold. 🫙🟣
Meet Kanji — India’s OG probiotic drink, and honestly one of the most underrated things you can put in your body.
Made with beetroot, carrot, ginger, and fermented the traditional way — this isn’t just a pretty purple drink. It’s a functional food that’s been around for centuries for a reason.
🕐 Best time to drink Kanji
First thing in the morning, on an empty stomach — this is when your gut is most receptive and the probiotics do their best work. You can also have it 30 minutes before a meal to kickstart digestion.
Avoid having it late at night.
🥛 How much to drink
Start with 100–150ml per day if you’re new to fermented foods.
Once your gut adjusts (3–5 days), you can go up to 200–250ml daily.
More is not better here — let your body ease in.
✅ Best for
→ People with slow digestion or bloating
→ Anyone with low energy or iron deficiency (beetroot 🙌)
→ Those recovering from antibiotic use
→ People looking to improve skin, gut, and immunity naturally
→ Anyone wanting a low-calorie, functional alternative to packaged drinks
⚠️ Who should be careful / avoid
→ People with kidney stones — high oxalate content from beetroot
→ Those with acidity or GERD — the tartness can aggravate
→ People on blood pressure medication — beetroot has a natural BP-lowering effect, check with your doctor
→ Pregnant women — consult before adding fermented drinks
→ Those with histamine intolerance — fermented foods can trigger symptoms
→ If you have an active gut infection or IBS flare — wait till you’re stable
Start slow, stay consistent, and let the fermentation do the work. Your gut will thank you in ways your skin, energy, and digestion will show. 🌿
