Description of Kombucha

Kombucha is a delicious tea-based beverage that is often drunk for its health benefits or medicinal purposes. There is scientific data supporting health benefits but unfortunately few studies are being conducted mainly due to the cost of such medical studies. There are several centuries of anecdotal accounts supporting health benefits attributed to the tea. Kombucha is available commercially but can easily be made at home by fermenting tea using a spongy mass of yeast and bacteria often nicknamed a SCOBY. This produces the kombucha culture which is also referred to as the "mushroom" but it is not really a mushroom. It grows on the very surface of the tea while the tea is fermenting and resembles a near whitish colored pancake.

Kombucha Tea safe?

Most ask this question because are aware that some fungi are poisonous or they have been misinformed about Kombucha. Kombucha is not a mushroom and it is not toxic. People only call it a mushroom, it is not a mushroom.

Kombucha has been used as a health remedy for over two millennium it is now being sold in food and health in the USA, far less expensive to make it yourself.

The tea does improve health but it is not a drug. The F.D.A. has stated that Kombucha Tea to be a safe beverage provided it is correctly prepared in a clean manner so as not to be contaminated by pathogens. Any food that you prepare has a risk of contamination but the risk is probably less so for Kombucha as it is a fermented beverage which as it ferments it creates a small amount of alcohol which helps to protect the tea against pathogens.

Nobody has died from drinking correctly made Kombucha Tea and yet millions of people daily drink this remarkable beverage and have done so for thousands of years. One thousand people a year die from taking aspirin, so which do you think is safer!

Kombucha Tea is a fermented beverage and , but then again some few people might be allergic to any number of things. An allergic is usually just a reddening of the skin or a minor.

The tea is acidic but no more so than wine, orange juice, or grapefruit juice, unless it is allowed to ferment too long in which case it becomes more sour. Drinking Kombucha Tea wil not change the pH level of your blood unless you drink very large amounts of the tea when it is very sour, this would be foolish to do, drinking large quantities of anything is hardly a smart thing to do.

A Kombucha mushroom could develop a mold but this is not common. Most common household food molds are not harmful but a contamination can ruin the taste of the tea. This minor problem is easily avoided by keeping the brewing jar properly covered and if it should occur is easily detected and you simple make a new batch of tea."]
