Too many damn java-scripts for me to handle on that site, but I’d be curious to know how much sugar is involved in classic (but modern) borscht.

I understand that it’s classically beet-based (which is a hugely-underrated veggie), but the Manischewitz version I tried last year from a bottle was completely inedible due to how much bullshit refined sugar (sorry for my language) had been needlessly added.

I mean, beets already contain plenty of sweetness, or…?

Borscht Recipe with Beef

A must try this Ukrainian borscht recipe with beef for those of you who love a good piece of tender meat in your spoon. Serve with dollop of sour cream.

In this recipe, 1 tablespoon of sugar is added to beets along with some vinegar and tomato paste. This makes them sweeter, but not super sweet. No other sugar is added.

Thanks. That’s like… ~55kcals, I think, a lot less than Manischewitz seemed to be adding.

Gonna try to make borscht by hand, next time. Yours looks super-yummy, so I’ll try to follow this approach.
