Sparkling Kefir Waters

LOOP's Water Kefir Helps to Repurpose Food Industry Leftovers

— September 30, 2020 — Eco
LOOP Water Kefir is a gut-friendly beverage that's made with northern plant hydrosols, which the brand describes as "an infused water normally rejected in the making of essential oils." The refreshing canned drinks are offered in unique varieties like Strawberry Labrador Tea, Orange Clementine Sweet-Fern and Ginger Goldenrod, which set themselves apart from other kinds of traditional kefir beverages and popular sparkling water products.

The beverages are made with a base of filtered water, plus other rescued ingredients like fresh produce from the food industry. LOOP turns "ugly" produce into flavorful cold-pressed juices, as seen with the "imperfect ginger and lemons" that go into the making of the canned Ginger Goldenrod variety, which is also packed with vegan probiotics.
