Scoby is also called a kombucha mother, starter or mushroom, looks like a slimy, thin pancake-like blob, and is used to “start” the fermentation process for kombucha.
A SCOBY can help improve gut health.
The bacteria and yeast present in the SCOBY in your kombucha can go a long way toward improving that gut health and creating a diverse microbiome. As you note improving gut health, you may find that it's easier to lose weight, maintain healthy blood sugar, or avoid illness.
What is SCOBY made of? A SCOBY is a cellulose-based biofilm that results in the natural fermenting process of making kombucha. It forms together when you ferment the lactic acid bacteria (LAB), acetic acid bacteria (AAB), and yeast together. Essentially, it is made of bacteria and yeast.
Pour tea into 5 glass bottles and 1 plastic bottle through funnel. Add 2 tablespoons apple juice and add 2 slices of ginger. Seal and set aside at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. When plastic bottle feels tight to the touch, the kombucha is ready to be consumed.
