Blood Orange Kombucha

Blood oranges are wonderful and full of unique flavors. They are less acidic than regular oranges, and I think they have a raspberry taste that is wonderful in kombucha. Blood oranges also have folate, a natural form of vitamin B9, which aids in preventing heart disease and cancers. Blood oranges’ red pigmentation contains anthocyanins, which are basic natural compounds that give color to fruits, plants, and vegetables. Researchers believe anthocyanins have anti-inflammatory properties that affect collagen, making the skin more elastic and reducing inflammation throughout the body.
