Cross Culture Kombucha, Danbury
Protecting our immune system is essential to staying healthy. Top tips for caring for our immune system include regularly exercising, reducing stress, eating varied nutritious foods, and reducing alcohol. What role does kombucha play? Kombucha is essentially tea which has been fermented with a culture. With the help of the fermentation process, the polyphenols and antioxidants in the tea become easier for the body to absorb, and organic acids, vitamins, and enzymes are produced. Kombucha is low in sugar and packed with beneficial bacteria. Research has suggested that the ‘friendly bacteria’ in fermented foods, including kombucha, can help to promote good gut health and fight against the bad bacteria that can make us unwell. Cutting back on alcohol can be tricky, but with a variety of flavors and styles of CCK, it’s easy to find a satisfying alternative. For beer lovers, both Hopped Peach and Hip Hops are phenomenal stand-ins for a craft beer. For rose wine lovers, Hibiscus Elderberry satisfies with a tart, bright and lightly fruity and floral, complex flavor. A Mojito, Jalapeno Watermelon, or Grapefruit Refresher in a stunning glass can eliminate the desire for a craft cocktail. For those who love a touch of sweetness, Cherry Vanilla, Jasmine, and Blueberry Ginger are favorites. Find CCK at the Westport Farmers Market, at over 100 businesses throughout CT, or directly at crossculturekombucha.com for curbside pickup in Danbury, or home delivery to most of Fairfield County.
