About Kanji

Kanji is a traditional fermented rice or barley drink originating from South Asia, particularly popular in India. Made by boiling grains and fermenting them with spices like mustard seeds, it develops a tangy, slightly sour flavor. Packed with probiotics, Kanji supports gut health and aids digestion, promoting a balanced microbiome. Low in fat and naturally vegan, it’s a hydrating and rejuvenating beverage often consumed in warmer months. The fermentation process enhances nutrient absorption and may boost immunity. However, its nutritional profile can vary based on preparation—adding too much salt or sugar might counteract its health benefits. Kanji is celebrated not only for its refreshing taste but also for its role in traditional medicine, prized for its detoxifying properties.
