worth it

Why it's worth it

Red borscht is an inherent element of the Polish Christmas Eve table, and a bottle of Krakus concentrate (59% beetroot juice) is the shortcut Poles keep in the pantry. There is no direct Czech supermarket equivalent, so it is a compact, genuinely Polish culinary take-home.

Taste

Deep ruby beetroot concentrate, diluted to a soup; rich, slightly tangy, with balanced natural beet sweetness and a delicate sour edge
