Why choose kefir and horseradish?
Kefir is not only a tasty sauce base but 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. This makes it an ideal alternative to heavier creams or mayos.
Horseradish, meanwhile, is a true "natural antibiotic"—it has antibacterial and antiviral properties, supports immunity and the respiratory system. Its sharp flavor 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, promoting digestion after more substantial dishes.
