Kombucha is naturally fermented mushroom tea with a living colony of yeast and bacteria, and it has many benefits such as fighting harmful yeast overgrowth; improving mental clarity and mood stability; detoxification; stimulating the immune system; and improving liver function and digestion. No wonder Kombucha has been called the “Elixir of Life.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tA shorter fermentation produces a sweeter Kombucha with a higher sugar content because the mother hasn't consumed all the sugar during the ferment. Longer fermentation produces a more acidic Kombucha because more of the sugar has been used and more acids produced. The Kombucha in my Stinging Kombucha Hot Sauce is slightly sweet and faintly acidic — and still ALIVE. When mixed with the other ingredients and bottled it will still be active, which is why the sauce needs to be refrigerated.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003eHeat Level\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tStrangely this remains a philosophical question. We've tried to come up with some kind of precise number from 1-10, (10 being “the end of the world”). But with each taste trial we realized that our subjects were developing resistance to the heat, hence 4 became 5 and so on... We therefore consider our Stinging Kombucha Hot Sauce to be somewhere between 3 (“gee, that IS spicy”) and 7 but never 10!\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003eAim\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tOur Hot Sauce will tickle your taste buds, cool you off in hot weather and will raise your metabolism. The hot sensations will momentarily take you through valleys of ever-changing bliss, but it will not continue to burn long after consumption, nor will it incur any lasting damage, physical or psychological…\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Azure Standard","offers":[{"title":"5 oz","offer_id":45080367267874,"sku":"AZ-CO1057","price":10.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 x 5 oz","offer_id":45080367300642,"sku":"AZ-CO1056","price":104.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/8684\/0866\/files\/2a3d0505-435e-4cc0-9bf1-7256bd064611.jpg?v=1773885089","url":"https:\/\/www.montavilla.coop\/products\/hot-sauce-green-river-moringa-raw-fermented","provider":"Montavilla Food Co-op","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
