About Okroshka

Okroshka is a traditional cold soup from Russian cuisine, popular during warmer months due to its refreshing qualities. Its name derives from the Russian word "kroshit," meaning "to chop," as the dish involves finely diced ingredients. Commonly made with a base of kvass (a fermented rye drink) or kefir, Okroshka includes diced vegetables like cucumbers, radishes, and potatoes, along with boiled eggs and cooked meat or sausage. Herbs such as dill and green onions enhance its flavor, while sour cream may be added for creaminess. Nutritionally, Okroshka is rich in vitamins and minerals from the fresh vegetables and herbs, offering hydration due to its liquid base. However, the inclusion of processed meats or high-fat dairy can add extra calories and sodium. Opting for lean proteins and lower-fat dairy can make this dish a healthier choice while retaining its unique, tangy taste.
