Why choose kefir and horseradish?
Kefir is not only a tasty sauce base – it's also a natural source of probiotics that support gut microbiota and improve digestion. It contains B vitamins, calcium, magnesium, and protein, while being low in calories, making it an ideal alternative to heavier creams or mayo.
Horseradish, on the other hand, is a true "natural antibiotic" – it has antibacterial and antiviral effects, supports immunity and the respiratory system. Its sharp flavour stimulates the appetite and pairs well with delicate eggs and sour kefir.
The combination of these two ingredients is not only a delicious duet but also a healthy option for the holiday table, supporting digestion after more substantial dishes.
