"Borscht is a liquid obtained from the fermentation of the wheat brans in water."
I learned something from your post. I thought "borscht" meant "beetroot soup" and not merely an ingredient used in other soups as well as beetroot soup! I like lentils, too, and your soup sounds yummy! Thanks for sharing! 😋
Yes borscht is an ingredient in itself, a sort of sour fermented water from the wheat brans. This is what gives the special taste to the soup. Thank you for stopping by!
