Kacha

Kacha is a traditional Indian fermented beverage made from ragi (finger millet), rice, or barley grains, often enjoyed in South India. The grains are soaked, ground into a slurry, and left to ferment naturally, which develops a tangy flavor and beneficial probiotics. Kacha is valued for its nutritional benefits, providing rich carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. It is typically consumed as a healthy drink, especially in rural areas, and can be enjoyed plain or flavored with ingredients like jaggery or coconut. Fermentation enhances its digestibility and adds to its probiotic qualities, promoting gut health.
