Borscht is a vibrant beet-based soup traditionally associated with Eastern European cuisine, particularly Ukrainian and Russian kitchens. Its key ingredients include beets, cabbage, carrots, potatoes, onions, and garlic, often complemented by meat like beef or pork, and typically garnished with fresh dill and a dollop of sour cream. Rich in vitamins and minerals, borscht is a good source of fiber, antioxidants, and folate, thanks to its vegetable base, particularly the nutrient-dense beets. Low in calories and high in nutrients, it supports digestive health and may boost heart health. However, when made with fatty meats or excessive sour cream, its saturated fat content can increase. Customizable for vegan or vegetarian diets, borscht’s simple yet flavorful ingredients make it a wholesome comfort food with remarkable nutritional benefits.
